The Northwestern Michigan Fair is underway with a slew of activities all week long. One special event is part of Kids' & Special Kids' Day this Wed., Aug. 7, in which the focus will be on local foods instead of cotton candy, elephant ears and other typical fair treats.

Guests will gets hands-on experience creating and eating smoothies, pasta salads and wraps.
