Minnesota bands playing in our entertainment building is one of the biggest draws of our fair--the bands help bring people together and everyone can spend time with their friends, and make new ones. Since we added our teen night, it is growing every year. We started this event because of complaints for the 16+ age group that there was nothing for them. With the four bands we offer, we have a variety of music to cater to a wide audience of people. This year we are also adding a kids event with Making Faces out of Mankato, Minnesota.
Wanda the Clown plays Kazoo, ukulele, sings, juggles preforms magic, shares her sillness and fun with all ages. Wonda the Clown is with Homeward Bound Theater Company in Chanhassen, MN.
The Route 68 Band (Big Band Sounds) is a group of musicians from southwest Minnesota.
They will be our band for Senior Citizens Day.
We would like to use the Legacy grant to help fund Minnesota bands in our entertainment building. This year we are looking at a "rock" band for Friday night, which will attract the younger crowd to the fair. On Sunday we highlight Senior Citizens, Farm Family Recognition and have a musician that plays old country and gospel music. For the younger youth on the fairgrounds we have free face painting on the grounds Saturday.
