State RepReSentative Cindy denby
dear Friends,
Michigan is the home of hundreds of great festivals, fairs and events right in your backyard or only a short drive away.
this summer, i ask you and your family to “think Michigan first” when planning outings. by doing so, you will help stimulate local economies that depend on tourism and these annual events.
you may be unaware of what Michigan has to offer, so i have compiled this local and statewide “Family Fun and Festival Guide.” While it gives only a glimpse of what the state has to offer, i hope it is of assistance to you when planning your next outing.
enjoy your summer in our beautiful state.
travel safely,
Cindy denby State Representative
