Smith Takes Silver Cup at State Fair District Change Prompted Concession
Frank Smith of Grand Traverse County earned the $75 Michigan State Agricultural Society silver cup after a strong county exhibit at the state fair. Northern counties faced competition from southern peers due to district realignment, but Grand Traverse’s display impressed fair officials who awarded the cup to the northern county. Berrien led in total fruit trays with about 130, followed by Oceana, Jackson, and Oakland. The northern and southern exhibits diverged in fruit maturity, suggesting scheduling shifts to favor winter fruit. Smith also won top premiums at West Michigan Fair and anticipates further victories at the state fair.
