The annual celebration of community, agriculture, and tradition, recently concluded with much success, a record breaking attendance and a week of beautiful weather and fun. The Saline Community Fair Board of Directors would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the sponsors, exhibitors, vendors, patrons and dedicated volunteers who all helped to make this year’s event a memorable experience.
Our heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of community members who volunteered during the 2025 Saline Community Fair! The Fair also greatly appreciates the one hundred sponsors and in-kind contributors to the fair! Many volunteers worked tirelessly during the week of the fair setting up displays, taking entries, running events, monitoring exhibits, driving shuttles, taking tickets, helping in the office, and cleaning grandstands among countless other tasks. We especially would like to thank the Fair Board of Directors and their families, Directors Emeriti, and superintendents, Saline Area Schools and many of the clubs, Saline Boy Scouts, the Saline Rotary Club, the Washtenaw County Farm Bureau, the Saline Junior Livestock Association, local businesses and individuals, local organizations, vendors, as well as the community for their support. The fair would not be possible without our sponsors also and our patrons.
The Saline Community Fair is a success because of our community support. The fair is already making plans for the celebration of our 90th
Saline Community Fair in 2026. You are welcome to share ideas on activities or events you would like to see at the fair, as well as any suggestions for a theme for our 90th fair. If you have ideas or would like to help with the fair or provide a sponsorship in 2026, please contact mysalinefair@yahoo.com. You will also want to follow the fair on facebook to keep up with the plans for 2026. See you at the 90th Saline Community Fair!
Sunny, with a high of 87 and low of 55 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear overnight.
Nice of the attorneys to clarify this language at this point rather than having the foresight to understand that language should never have been in the agreement to start with!
Perhaps the Township should have sought counsel from an attorney not involved in the original contract negotiations (and perhaps they did - do not know) before changing direction.
Final thought - perhaps the attorney(s) working with the Township on the agreement can provide an explanation as to why that language HAD to be as represented in the final version of the agreement/why protections against exactly what has happened were not put in place.
I’m curious as to why Mr. Marl has announced his reelection intentions, started campaigning and collecting funds, but has not done the paperwork to put his name on the ballot yet?
Marl says he's got his signatures.
Citizens of Saline are finally waking up to all the failures of our current city government. Girbach is bailing (for good reason).
Having sadly been involved in the last few years with the care of two family members after loss of their partners then dealing with settling the estates which is far more time consuming and complex than anticipated, can understand this decision and commend him for prioritizing family.
Sounds as if you have been and are a supporter of Swallow and felt he was good for Saline. Nice to hear. As for the other observations, hopefully some of the turnover, including Girbach deciding not to pursue another term (talk about negative), will prove to produce a more positive environment.
