Every year there is something new at the Humboldt County Fair, but this year there will be something completely different.
Saturday night, July 29, there will be a country music concert that is going to be special and exciting.
Billboard Country chart-topper Tyler Farr will be performing his hits like “Redneck Crazy,” and “Whiskey in My Water,” as well as new material. Farr is working on an album with Jason Aldean.
Appearing prior to Farr will be Jake Worthington. An up-and-comer on the country music scene, fans will recognize him as the runner-up finisher on season 6 of The Voice, a member of Blake Shelton’s team.
“This is something we have wanted to try for a while,” Fair Board member and Treasurer Kevin Cordray said. “We’ve done some small-scale concerts and musical performers in the past, but this year we wanted name acts and our goal is to sell 2,500 tickets. That will be double the capacity of what we get for a typical grandstand show,” Cordray said.
“We have a limit of 2,500 tickets. Tickets have been on sale for a while now at our website, www.humboldtcountyfair.com" he said. The tickets are $30 each. Read the full story in this week's Humboldt Independent. On sale today. Subscribe by clicking on the link at the top of this page.
