“It looks like we are going to have a very strong lineup for 2015. When we signed Dan + Shay, they were just getting their feet wet. Last week they had the second most added song on Country radio! I think they are going to be going strong by July” Stated Bryan Schulz, General Manager.
Schulz is pleased with the strong country artists booked for 2015. Craig Morgan will be a highlight on Military Appreciation Day scheduled for Thursday, July 9th. Military personnel and their families will be given discounted admission prices for that day. Lee Brice has had four #1 songs since 2011 and his latest hit “Drinking Class” is currently a top ten song. Hard rock band Halestorm is scheduled for Saturday, July 11th. They received a Grammy Award in 2012 for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance and their third album, Into the Wildlife, will be released on April 7, 2015.
The philosophy of paying a gate admission and all shows are free has proved to be a success. With attendance reaching over 120,000 in recent years, the 2015 Fair is expected to draw large numbers once again.
“We strive to keep the Fair affordable for everyone. We have multiple gate admission discounts and coupons available. Adult admission is only $10.00 per day. Where in this town can you see animals, exhibits and grandstand shows for that price? It really is a great family get away,” expressed Schulz.
