Adrenaline junkies attending the Michigan State Fair were treated to something new this year — the air stunt antics of Dialed Action, a bicycle motocross and freestyle motocross team. The BMX/FMX stunt team replaced the Shrine Circus, which had attracted guests to the fair for more than a decade, as the fair’s main attraction. The performance featured two bicycle motocross performers and two freestyle motocross performers in high-flying stunts across several ramps. Each performance included audience participation, with two attendees sitting at the top of a ramp as the stunt performers jumped over them. See FAIR on page 9A

Commission replaces a culvert that carries the Seeley Drain under the road, according to an RCOC press release. According to the release, access to homes and businesses on the road will be
maintained, but the road will be completely closed at the culvert, which is located just north of Lancaster Drive. The project is estimated to cost See HAGGERTY on page 21A
