{"product_id":"michigan-state-fair-john-minnis-9781531651510","title":"Michigan State Fair","description":"First held in 1849 in Detroit, the location of the Michigan State Fair rotated in the early years between Detroit, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, Adrian, Jackson, Grand Rapids, East Saginaw, Lansing, and Pontiac before settling permanently in Detroit. When Detroit department store magnate Joseph L. Hudson sold 135 acres of Woodward Avenue farmland to the Michigan State Agricultural Society in 1905 for $1, the permanent home of the Michigan State Fair was established. On February 12, 2009, Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm signed an executive order effectively ending a 160-year tradition--the Michigan State Fair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Minnis, Lauren Beaver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531651518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531651510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"John Minnis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936748765439,"sku":"9781531651510","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7192694a-f175-4073-a8b0-2e818decbc64.jpg?v=1681426516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/michigan-state-fair-john-minnis-9781531651510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
