County Fair Legacy Project
The premise for securing entertainment at the Hanson Memorial Free Stage is that it has to have ethnic significance and it should provide an elementary level of agriculture that kids can understand and adults can appreciate. This year the fair is showcasing one the premier children's acts the state has to offer. Tricia and the Toonies provide three shows, each different and each relevant. One show focuses on the basics of agriculture, another show focuses on the environment and the third show shows the differences of ethnic heritage. The other major attraction is a musical act entitled "Blind Joe." As a former contestant on the Voice he brings a sense of understanding that through his handicap there is still a vehicle that he can express himself and teach his audience there is hope.
Tricia and the Toonies will conduct three shows. Based on historical numbers it is estimated that 200 people will attend the show. The Blind Joe show will run from 7 -10 p.m. on Saturday evening of the fair - it is estimated that 400 people will attend the show over the course of the three hours.
