I LOVE LOVE LOVE the free stage entertainment at the Iowa State Fair. Here's this year's line-up, courtesy of my friends at WHO-TV.
Iowan and American Idol winner Maddie Poppe is definitely the headliner. But here's the other acts that I am eager to see:
Susan Knapp Amphitheater with media sponsor FOX 17
August 11 Broadway’s Rock of Ages Band - I saw this band perform 80s arena rock classics at the civic center and they are FANTASTIC!
August 12-13 Hairball - Speaking of hair metal...
August 14 Chicks with Hits featuring Terri Clark, Pam Tillis and Suzy Bogguss - I love these three. "Better Things To Do," "Poor Poor Pitiful Me," "Maybe It Was Memphis," "Drive South..."
MidAmerican Energy Stage with Iowa Reality and media sponsor KCCI 8
August 12 Prince Tribute “The Purple Xperience” - Dearly Beloved...I will be gathered here to see this tribute.
August 17 KIX - Again, let me state that hair metal is the best music on earth.
August 18 Nelson - "Can't Live Without Your Love And Affection" is one of my favorite songs...and...again...hair metal. 'Nuff said.
