I seem to remember hearing that the EA Cummings Center was privately owned and that the County leases the property. I could very well be wrong, so I sent an email to the County Parks asking if it's privately owned or County owned.
Also, after looking on the Parks website I found this statement in their rules...
"Section XXV – Firearms
For purposes of these rules, the term “firearm” shall include any revolver, pistol, shotgun, rifle, air rifle, air gun, water gun, slingshot, BB gun or any gun, rifle, firearm or bow or other device which is designed to discharge projectiles or are models or facsimiles of these devices, which appear to be capable of doing so.
No person shall possess or control any firearm (except those as permitted by MCL 28.421 et seq) upon properties administered by or under the jurisdiction of the Commission, except by prior written permission of the Commission or as allowed by the Commission from time to time in designated areas.
No person shall discharge any firearm upon property administered by or under the jurisdiction of the Commission except by prior written permission of the Commission or as allowed by the Commission from time to time in designated areas.
This section shall not apply to any law enforcement officer acting in the course of his/her official duties."

Not that it matters much due to preemption (123.1102), the highlighted portion above is saying those with a CPL are exempt (see link below).

Please don't carry a long arm at the fair.
i called the county fair hotline today just to do one last check before i made the trip to the fairgrounds and was told that no firearms were allowed. Has anyone been out there? and are there any signs?
signs are irrelevant, they do not have the power of law, i walked past no firearms signs several times at the St Clair Riverfest last month and was not stopped by security or law enforcement. it was on public property.i called the county fair hotline today just to do one last check before i made the trip to the fairgrounds and was told that no firearms were allowed.

I was already planning on attending the fair later this afternoon. Our household is in dire need of elephant ears.
