“La Reina del Pueblo” (The Queen of the People)
to perform at the Stanislaus County Fair

            Turlock – Graciela Beltran will conquer hearts when she performs at the 2004 Stanislaus County Fair—just as she does everywhere she performs.

            Beltran, known for hits like “Que Pena,” Que Dificil Es” and “No Me Arrepiento de Nada” will perform on Sunday, August 8, at 8:30 p.m. on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage at the Stanislaus County Fair.  All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair admission.

            “We are very excited to have this young and talented artist at our fair,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair.  “This young and talented woman performs with passion--she wears her heart on her sleeve.  It’s no wonder that her fans have affectionately named her ‘La Reina del Pueblo’ or The Queen of the People.”

            Beltran has been nominated three consecutive years for Lo Nuestro Latin Music Awards in the Regional Mexican category for “Best Artist of the Year.”  She has been nominated for a Grammy award in 2001 for “ Best Banda Album,” and she also has a collection of gold and platinum RIAA certified albums for her high and successful track record in sales.
