Turner County Fair

Rave reviews again for the SD Old Time Fiddlers at the Turner County Fair.  These fiddlers love to play events like this one.  The stage was packed with musicians playing great Old-Time Music. The crowd got to kick up their heels a bit as many did more than just listen to the music.  More than once toe tapping turned into dancing which is just what these fiddlers enjoy seeing.  That is what the music is designed for - along with the usual hootin' and hollerin' that accompanies the clapping.  It's all just good fun.

If you have not had a chance to hear these musicians play you are missing some real entertainment.  Check out where you can catch up with them next by checking the schedule on their Website HERE. 

And catch up with the Turner County Fair on Facebook.  They have been celebrating family fun since 1880.

Sargent County ( ND ) Fair

If you happened to be at the 2012 Sargent County Fair in Foreman, ND the last Saturday of July you got to hear some great acoustic music being played.  This group of folks came up from South Dakota and played two sets for the fairgoers.  Everyone enjoyed the music as well as the lawnmower races, the "Duck Chuckin" and all of the other great events going on.  If you were not there in 2012 you need to be there in 2013.
