The Croswell Fair is getting a bright upgrade thanks to a new state grant. On Thursday, the Michigan Horse Racing Advisory Commission awarded the fair $24,555 through its ’25 Equine Grant Program. The money, covering about 35% of this year’s funding, will go toward replacing track lighting. The program supports horse racing events, equine research, and aftercare, and awards are given only to long-standing, financially vetted organizations in good standing with the state.

Port Huron neighbors are rallying to help a local family after a tragic shooting left a 17-year-old boy dead and his 12- and 13-year-old siblings seriously injured. The father was arrested in connection with last Thursday’s incident. The two surviving children are now in a Detroit hospital, with the boy suffering severe facial injuries and the girl paralyzed from the shoulders down. A GoFundMe page has raised over $20,000 of a $35,000 goal to help cover medical bills, funeral costs, and a new handicap-accessible home for the grieving family.
