Michigan fair plans austerity and 1940 issues at Lansing
The 1939 Michigan State Fair in Detroit will emphasize agriculture and industry with reduced use of the Hollywood event car, halved light harness racing, expanded livestock and farm equipment displays, and a strong 4H program under Elmer A. Beamer. Lawmakers face a looming 1940 agenda with budget concerns, liquor policy review, and civil service debates as Governor Dickinson signals possible special sessions to balance finances.
