Welcome to MIchigan! Eagle is very easy to find. I'm in Brighton so I'm taking this route too.

Take I-96 to about 10 miles west of Lansing, exit 84 Eagle/Westphalia. Turn left on Clark Rd, 1st left onto Grange Rd. The grounds can be seen very easily from I-96.

Yeah Bill,
as you approach the exit, look to the left, you will see the fairgrounds.

Bill, Geoff and others be aware there is some lane cross overs due to construction on I-96 near the Saginaw Hwy or exit 93.
This continues on until about the 86 mile marker going both ways.
Good news is there finally fixing the road.
The speed has been lowered to 60 mph and now down to 2 lanes.

This will add a few minutes to your trip but you should be fine.
