The Village People will open the Stanislaus County Fair!

Turlock—The Village People, known worldwide for their energetic, fun hits will kick off 10 days of fun at the Stanislaus County Fair!

            The Village People, winners of two American Music Awards and international best sellers for 25 years, will light up the Budweiser Variety Free Stage on Friday, July 25 at 8:30 p.m. All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair admission.

            “Baby boomers, like me, truly remember dancing the night away to the great sounds of the Village People at school dances,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair.

            The Village People’s best selling records make fans want to dance and shout and sing along. “YMCA,” “Macho Man” and “In the Navy” are just a few of the chart-topping hits that helped the Village People sell over 65,000,000 records!

            The Village People, with three original members, are still touring the world. They wow audiences who are thrilled that the campy, vivacious group just “Can’t Stop the Music”.

The Stanislaus County Fair is now in its 92nd year.  The 2003 fair opens Friday, July 25 for a 10-day run.  The theme of this year’s fair is “The Place to be in 2003.”

Last year, more than 226,000 family members enjoyed the fair —the largest attendance in the past decade.  In the fall of 2002, Modesto Bee readers voted the Stanislaus County Fair their “Favorite All-Around Event” in the Bee’s Readers’ Choice Awards!

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