County Fair Legacy Project
Our Legacy project consists of hiring Monroe Wright III to perform two shows on Friday of fair. He will bring several musicians to accompany him during the scheduled shows. He specializes in the music of the Mills Brothers.
From the website: "Memories of the Mills Brothers features the talents of one of the most popular entertainers in the Midwest, Monroe Wright III. Monroe brings to the stage a superb crowd-pleasing personality and charisma in a high quality Las Vegas style show. His vocal style is reminiscent of The Mills Brothers, The Ink Spots, and The Platters and his performance will take you down memory lane with songs such as "Up A Lazy River", "Glow Worm", and "You're Nobody 'Till Somebody Loves You". He also performs some of the biggest hits of Motown by groups such as the Temptations and the Four Tops, along with classics from Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.
We anticipate 100-150 people to attend the two shows. We have a lovely covered entertainment pavilion, so people may just hang out for both shows. We will assign a volunteer to count attendees to the two shows and report the outcome in the closeout report. We will also take the time to survey attendees to determine their satisfaction with the performer and assist the fair's Entertainment Committee in determining if this is a performer who should return in future years.
