Grammy award winning Ronnie Milsap
returns to Stanislaus County Fair!

Turlock—Country music fans you have “Never Had It So Good,” as another Grammy award winner has been confirmed to perform at the Stanislaus County Fair.

Ronnie Milsap, whose 40 number one hits are second only to Conway Twitty, will take center stage on Saturday, August 3 on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage.  All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair admission.

Ronnie Milsap has received six Grammy awards and eight Country Music Association awards in his career since releasing his first single, “Total Disaster, ” at the young age of 20 years old.  Milsap has been a large presence in country music since the 1970s and is now ready to leave his mark on the 21st Century.

“Ronnie Milsap is loved by millions of fans, especially those in the Central Valley.  He packed the house when he performed at our fair in 1994,” commented Fair Spokeswoman Pennie Rorex.  “Milsap’s large following can be attributed to his blend of country, rhythm and blues, and rock.  The other being that he is a down-to-earth, friendly person,” added Rorex. 

Milsap’s two new hits, “Livin’ On Love” and “Time, Love and Money,” exemplify that the Milsap blend is sure to keep concert-goers at this years fair on their feet.

As of today, the lineup on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage includes:

·        Grand Funk Railroad  - Friday, July 26.

·        Collin Raye - Sunday, July 28

·        Tower of Power – Wednesday, July 31

·        Ronnie Milsap – Saturday, August 3

 

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, more than 215,000 family members enjoyed the Stanislaus County Fair.

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