STANISLAUS
COUNTY FAIR TICKETS GO ON SALE
MAY 6
Turlock
– Be sure your plans for the
first Saturday in May include
buying tickets for the 2006
Stanislaus County Fair.
Stanislaus County
Fair tickets,
including the Lee Ann Womack and
Huey Lewis and the News
concerts, the always sold-out
destruction derby and discount
admission and carnival tickets,
all go
on sale Saturday, May 6,
beginning at 10 a.m.
“We expect that the Lee Ann
Womack and Huey Lewis and The
News concerts will sell very
fast,” said Tony Leo, chief
executive officer of the
Stanislaus County Fair. “Our
fair guests know that the
celebrity entertainment at their
Stanislaus County Fair is always
the best. Because of the
caliber of the acts that we
bring in, tickets are in high
demand.”
“Other fast-sellers are the two
destruction derbies—Derby I:
Traditional Turmoil and Derby
II: Metal Mayhem. Last year,
Derby I sold out in less than 20
minutes, with Derby II
ultimately a sell-out too.”
