TERRI CLARK TO PLAY STANISLAUS COUNTY FAIR FREE STAGE

            Turlock – Stanislaus County Fair officials have booked country music star Terri Clark as part of the jam-packed free entertainment planned for the 2005 Stanislaus County Fair.

            Clark, known for hits like “Easy On The Eyes,” “Emotional Girl” and “I Wanna Do It All,” will perform on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage on Saturday, August 6, at 8:30 p.m. at the Stanislaus County Fair.  This concert will be hosted by KAT Country 103 and is included with the price of fair admission.

            “Terri Clark is a sassy country singer who can easily connect with her fans,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair.  “She likes to honky tonk it up and that’s just what she’ll do at the fair!”

            Terri Clark dreamt about being a country star since she was a little girl–but it’s not a dream any longer.  Clark remembers the moment she first started to break through her dream and start living it. She was listening to a clock radio in her hotel room and suddenly she heard her voice coming through it!  “It was me!  I started jumping up and down on the bed, ended up hitting my head on the ceiling–screaming and feeling all the energy in my body,” Clark said.  She says that her experience shows the power of dreams–that they can come true.

            In 2005, Clark was nominated for Top Female Vocalist and the Music Video of the Year (“Girls Lie Too”) by the Academy of Country Music Awards, where Clark was a presenter.  Clark won the Canadian Country Music Association Fans' Choice Entertainer of the Year in 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2003.  “Looking back on 10 years…I can’t think of anything I’d trade for it,” said Clark.  “And that’s when you know every bumpy road’s worth it.”

  • Aaron Tippin – Friday, July 29 at 8:30 p.m.
