Still tickets available for grandstand shows

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.
