TERRI CLARK RETURNS TO THE STANISLAUS COUNTY FAIR

Turlock, CA (February 25, 2010) – The Stanislaus County Fair announced today that platinum-selling country artist Terri Clark will be performing live at the Fair.

Clark, known for hits like “I Wanna Do It All” and “Girls Lie Too,” is set to perform on Saturday, July 24, 2010 at 8:30 p.m. at the Budweiser Variety Free Stage. The concert is hosted by KAT Country 103 and will take place at this year’s Stanislaus County Fair.

“Terri Clark is a great addition to the Fair’s free concert lineup,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “She will bring her vivacious energy and highly popular country hits for our guests to enjoy.”

Terri Clark had dreamt about becoming a country star since she was a little girl and her dream finally came true with her breakthrough single in 1995 “Better Things to Do.” Clark’s latest album, The Long Way Home was released in 2009 and contains 11 tracks.

This “Working Girl” is a hard-charging performer, Country Music Association (CMA) Female Vocalist of the Year nominee, and eight time Canadian Country Music Association Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year. Clark takes true ownership of her music by making an album her own truth.
