Oakland County Fair 2016 Information + Giveaway {Ends 7/6}

I will be receiving passes for entry into the Oakland County Fair in exchange for promoting. All opinions expressed are my own.

Nothing says summer quite like a fair, right? I like to think summer hasn’t started until I’ve had an elephant ear and sweated through some good old fashioned carnival rides. In fact, visiting the fair has become my absolute favorite tradition with my kids each year. We love seeing the 4-H animals, sipping on a fresh squeezed lemonade, riding the ferris wheel and checking out the special event happenings. There is always SO much to see!

I’ve been to many fairs, and I have to say – the Oakland County Fair is simply the area’s BEST. The country setting in beautiful Davisburg, the charming old barns, the people watching…this fair has it all! It’s an incredibly well put together event.

The Oakland County Fair is happening July 8 – 17, 2016 at Springfield Oaks County Park in Davisburg and is an amazing time for families, or even as an excuse for a date night out. Check out the information below and make sure to enter to win one of four family passes for FREE fun at the fair. This is definitely a can’t-miss event!
