“Public Health Delta & Menominee Counties is very excited to be able to offer the safe and effective Johnson & Johnson vaccine at this year’s U.P.

“Since the onset of the pandemic, the U.P. State Fairgrounds has worked closely with Public Health of Menominee and Delta Counties to protect the health and safety of patrons,” said Delta County Chamber of Commerce Director Vickie Micheau. “We are pleased to continue our partnership and hope that offering a vaccination station during the U.P. State Fair will make it easier for people to get vaccinated.”
Michigan’s only State Fair will be held August 16 through August 22, featuring amazing fair food, action-packed carnival rides by Skerbeck Entertainment Group, winning livestock and artistic exhibits, midway entertainment that debuted on America’s Got Talent and big-name performances like the California rock band Buckcherry.
