		<description><![CDATA[Almost a year ago, I visited the Michigan State Fair for what was to be its last season.  The Michigan State Fair was the longest running in the United States spanning over 160 years, surviving the depression, until budget cuts forced its closure in 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[I ran across a website today (actually several websites) about events that other cities with rich architectural buildings are hosting.
