Who’s up for a family-friendly event featuring everything from live music and fair rides to a high-diving show, livestock, giant pumpkins, and exotic animals? You are in luck because it’s all happening over Labor Day Weekend at the Michigan State Fair, and Jim DeBerry, director of Cool Zoo Wildlife Conservation, and his daughter, Annabelle DeBerry, the junior zoo keeper, stopped by “Live in the D” to show off some adorable animals that will be there.
