Chelsea Live Green Fair Exhibitors

NOTE: Here are just a few of the over 60 exhibitors that will be at our 2012 Chelsea Live Green Fair and Home Show at the Chelsea Fairgrounds May 19th and 20th.

• Ace & Sons According to Glenn Haege on the Handyman Show approximately 90% of the homes built before 2008 do not have sufficient insulation based on new building codes.
  
  Properly installed insulation in your home can save you money on heating and air conditioning energy expenses, and over time it can pay for itself! Insulation will help make your home less drafty and create a more comfortable living environment.  By insulating your home you will reduce how many times your furnace and air conditioner turn on during the day and night, thus saving you money on energy bills and prolonging the life of your heating and cooling systems.
  Ace & Sons uses superior, cost-effective, recyclable products and the latest foam injection technology.

The MDA, Michigan Agri-Business Association, and Michigan State University are all represented through ex-officio members serving on the board.
  For every bushel of corn grown in Michigan and sold, one penny comes to the CMPM and is used for research, education, market development and new uses. Most often this penny is sent to the CMPM by an elevator, but if the corn does not go through an elevator or if the elevator is out of state and does not report to the CMPM, it is the farmer ’s responsibility to make sure the penny is paid.
