🎉 Hey everyone! I’m Claire Adkinson, and I’m excited to be the new Chairperson for Ladies Day at the Fair! 💐

Some might know me from Claire Elizabeth Photography. I’m also a farmer’s wife and proud mom of two amazing kiddos on the autism spectrum. 💛 These roles inspire my passion for community, inclusion, and celebrating strong women.

Ladies Day is all about honoring the heart, strength, and contributions of women—and we’ve got a beautiful event in the works for next year!

💌 Want to join the planning committee? Message me! We’d love your ideas and energy!

UPDATE: We have found someone! Thank you to everyone who shared and spread the word for us. I will let the new person introduce herself when she's ready. Please feel free to message us if you're interested in helping on the committee!

The Ladies Day committee is looking for a new chairperson! Ashley is stepping down to focus on other volunteer efforts. Please send us a message if you are interested in organizing this program! It's been running at the Ionia Free Fair and Ionia Fairgrounds for over 40 years, and we would hate to see it go away. Thanks!

Thank you to everyone who played a part in our 2025 Ladies Day program! We had a great time hearing from four speakers who encouraged us to share our stories and connect with one another. We have so many people who deserve one last token of our appreciation. If you know these people or frequent these businesses, please let them know that you appreciate the way they support the Ladies Day program at the fair.

Thank you, once again, to our sponsors: Beth Milewski, Red Tomato of Saranac, Ionia Business & Professional Women, Ionia County Commission on Aging, and Cyd’s Cookie Co.

Thank you to our Woman of the Year judges: Toni Ann Buys, Beth Milewski, and Gale Yeomans.

Thank you to the following people and businesses for their support: Brick Street Studio for a meeting space and doorprize storage; Mike Brown and Paul Lopez for always being available to drive a shuttle for those who need it; Ionia Floral for the beautiful bouquets; and S and K Printing for printing our programs and sponsor board

Thank you to all of the businesses and people who donated doorprizes for our attendees. We handed out some amazing gifts. This could not be done without the continued support from our local small businesses and talented people in our community.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to my committee. I (Ashley) could not do this without each and every one of you. As I'm now stepping away from this role, I can definitely say that my five years as committee chair have been successful because of the time you all have dedicated to the cause.

Thank you!

Thank you Grand Event Rentals LLC. for the 5th year in a row of beautiful decorations that capture our theme perfectly!
