Heat at the Fairgrounds | Lansing News

The Eaton County Fair is battling extreme heat that’s making everyone sweat — including the livestock. Farmers are deploying fans, misters, and constant water to keep animals cool, while also urging fairgoers to stay shaded, hydrated, and dressed light. With heat indexes nearing 100 degrees, animal handlers are using smart tactics like encouraging movement over lying down to avoid trapped heat. Signs of heat stress? Heavy panting, foamy mouths, or unusually hot skin. It’s all about survival — for animals and humans alike — as the heat shows no signs of letting up.
