“The Temptations have a smooth, classic sound that everyone can enjoy,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “After four decades, their timeless charm still enchants fans. We are excited to have them on our stage.”
 

With songs like, “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” “My Girl” and “I Can’t Get Next to You” it’s no wonder The Temptations are Grammy winners and have turned their album, Phoenix Rising, into a Platinum-plus album.

This year’s Stanislaus County Fair is themed “Nuts are DINO-mite,” a salute to the valley’s robust nut industry. The Almond Board of California, a major sponsor of the Fair’s themed tribute, will be offering free samples of almonds each day of the Fair.
 

New to the 2008 Fair will be Jurassic Journey, an 8,000 square foot life-size dinosaur replica exhibit. The dinosaur exhibit is sponsored by Sky Trek Aviation and is making its California debut at the Stanislaus County Fair.
 

In 2008, the Stanislaus County Fair was awarded a first place award for the best Overall Children’s Program by the Western Fairs Association. The mission of the Stanislaus County Fair is to provide a family and community oriented experience promoting agriculture, education, entertainment and technology.
