Country Music Vocalist of the Year Nominee
to perform at Stanislaus County Fair!

Turlock—Country music fans mark your calendar now because “In This Life” you may have only one chance to hear Collin Raye at the Stanislaus County Fair!

Collin Raye, who’s hit “In This Life” climbed to number one in 1992, will take center stage on Sunday, July 28 on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage.  All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair admission.

Collin Raye whose first number one single, “Love Me,” hit audiences in 1991 will perform that and fourteen other number one hits at this year’s Stanislaus County Fair.  Some of Raye’s hits include; “One Boy, One Girl, ” “I Think About You,” “Little Rock,” “I Can Still Feel You,” and his most recent, “Couldn’t Last A Moment.” These hits, old and new, still receive continuous airplay on country radio stations. 

“Collin Raye has an incredible tenor voice and an awesome ability to write and deliver songs that move whomever hears them,” shared Pennie Rorex, fair spokeswoman.  Raye’s music has been engraved on tombstones, received recognition for social conscience, inspired millions and of course danced to and enjoyed by millions. “Central Valley residents now have the opportunity to hear him perform live and be inspired by a man with a message and the voice to deliver it,” said Rorex.

In addition to Colin Raye, Grand Funk Railroad is scheduled to perform on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage on Friday, July 26.

The Stanislaus County Fair is now in its 91st year.  The 2002 fair opens Friday, July 26 for a 10-day run.  The theme of this year’s fair is “Through the Eyes of a Child.”  Last year, a record-number of family members enjoyed the fair as attendance topped 215,000 visitors.

The mission of the Stanislaus County Fair is to provide a family and community oriented experience promoting agriculture, education, entertainment and technology.
