The antique village is very cute and the grounds are well maintained. I have been here for the fair many times and also quite a few weddings. The best part of a wedding at the fairgrounds is that it is very easy for guests to stay in the camp grounds the night before and after the reception, makes for a fun wedding weekend.

Cold beer and traditional smoked meats (by way of sausages of various types) await you. High heels or tennis shoes, just be sure to bring your polka-purposes self to one of the best local festivals in northwestern lower Michigan. Held each year during the Fourth of July, the Village of Cedar offers the best chance to twist, turn and twirl to the catchy tunes of ole' Eastern Europe. Percussion, cymbals and the ubiquitous accordion set your feet a tappin' and bring on a thirst and desire to dance that only the Cedar Polka Fest can cure.

The prior reviewer was probably from a big city where everything is covered with asphalt because most people can deduce that a 4H fair with tractors, animals, truck pulls, etc. is going to be dusty and parts will be dirty. You may get some dust in your lemonade, be prepared. I'm not quite sure why we need a beer tent at all, but the rides and animal shows are all part of a small town fair and always have been, it's a once a year treat for people in this part of the country. I knocked off a star because the bathrooms ARE terrible and it's getting too expensive. $10 for a piece of fried dough is just too much, IMO. So, bring a water bottle and eat before you come!

Do you like a good cheeseburger? For one who isn't much of a meat-eater, I have to admit that a cheeseburger is something that I just enjoy having a few times a year. If you want to be someone who can speak with authority to the best cheeseburgers around, make some time to drive to the "Cheeseburger Fest". You will not be disappointed with the selection, and will leave satisfied. Main Street teems with people, all crowding around the various vendors. To tell you the truth, I absolutely hate crowds, but I can deal if only there is a tasty morsel awaiting at each destination. The burgers make the experience absolutely worth the while. As it's been almost a year since the last festival, I cannot recollect how many different burgers were available, but I believe it was in the order of anywhere from 10-20 different varieties. Every chef aims to please for the prize, as each burger is entered into a contest. From a portabella burger, to Mexican (with salsa), and everything in between, the creative juices flow at this annual event of burger bliss. Details of the event can be found on their site. The page is in fact up to date, although the whole site is admittedly horridly pieced together. I haven't gone for anything but the cheeseburgers, but there are enough different events to keep you busy the whole week. Other attractions include laser light shows, concerts, a parade, various contests, and a lot of different events for kids. You will also find that a lot of people come to Caseville's County Park to camp out for the event. Unfortunately it has probably been booked for months now. At any rate, you should visit the beach after a day of burger goodness and bask in the warmth of the afternoon sun, enjoying your seemingly alcohol-free beverage. If I could give only one word of advice, it is that you take some friends along for the ride. Not only is each cheeseburger anywhere from $4 - $7 (from what I recall), but each burger is of sizable portion, enough to split up amongst a group for the ultimate in sampling. After you've done your rounds, go around and pick up a burger for yourself, one that you enjoyed the most. I guarantee this is the best way to experience the festival. To be safe, I would recommend bringing $20 - $30 each with you for the ultimate experience, more if you would like to purchase a memento or a drink or two of choice. As a side note, we stopped at a gas station on the way back down off of M-53. One side sold assault rifles and the other ice cream. I can't say much for the guns, but the ice cream hit just the spot late at night. If you know of this place, let me know.

The main focus is the apples by the bushel load and other locally-grown items, but the art fair is also a great draw. There must be about 100 booths at this fair. Local farms were selling apples and freshly-made donuts. The local Lions Club was selling hot dogs and fries. I noticed that many of the craftspeople at this fair are from nearby towns, and that a lot of the items they were selling were very reasonably priced. I'm more likely to actually purchase something from an art fair when it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars. I love handcrafted, unique items and this seems like a great place to get them.
