Neal McCoy brings award-winning show to turlock

Turlock – Triple-platinum, country music dynamo Neal McCoy will serenade you with tender ballads and get you shakin’ with honky-tonk anthems this summer at the Stanislaus County Fair.

            “Neal McCoy’s charisma, energy and vocal talents can only be truly experienced at one of his live shows,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “He is the ideal compliment to the family fun that our fair has provided for the past 95 years.”
