As you know, this year we are celebrating 125 years at the Onekama Fairgrounds
and it takes a LOT of spit and polish, hammer and nails, and just plain hard work and dollars to keep up with the up keep!
We gratefully accept all contributions – to see us on our way for the NEXT 125 years!

If you are going just to the MtrCross races…..do you have to pay the entrance fee to the fair and the Race?

Hello Judy,
yes there is a general admission to the FairGrounds to view all the exhibits or visit the Midway. Then admission to the evening Grandstand Events is a separate ticket.

If you purchase a ” pass ” either gold or silver does that allow you to ride the rides also ?

Hello Kevin,
All Day Midway Ride wrist band passes are separate from the Gold and Silver passes which are for Grounds admission and Grandstand Events only.
However, on Tuesday all Midway rides are at a special rate thanks to our wonderful sponsors!
Have a grand time at the 2011 Manistee County Fair!
