Hudsonville Fair thrives despite start of school

From our media partners at WOOD TV:

HUDSONVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — The Hudsonville Community Fair has always been about kids — from its inception inside the high school gymnasium to this year’s event featuring 4-H competitions, rides and music.

And although nearby Jenison, Unity Christian and Grandville schools have started class for the year, it’s not hurting the annual celebration.

“Lots of kids out here today,” said fair president Lonnie Vis during dollar ride day Tuesday.

Homeschooling mom of five Lynelle was caught a bit off-guard by the crowd.

“We got here today and I was expecting no kids. I was like, ‘Woo hoo! This is a homeschooler’s dream.’ But no, there’s a lot of people here,” she said.

The schools and fairs have a partnership.

“The schools are letting them off for the animal events to show the animals, to come and do their animals,” explained Vis.
