Summer Fun at the StanCoFair
By Middagh Goodwin
The Stanislaus County Fair is nearly here and will run from the 5th until the 14th of July. The Fair is fun for the whole family with something for just about everybody, filled with an array of thrilling rides for both children and adults. Animal lovers will be delighted with the various attractions that provide fun and educational experiences. For those seeking adrenaline, there is bloodless bullfighting that is exciting and respectful to the animals. The roar of monster trucks will fill the air, offering a spectacle for all motor enthusiasts, alongside the tractor pulls, which always draw a crowd. Don’t miss out on the destruction derby, a real crowd-pleaser where you can watch vehicles crash and collide until the last one can drive. Of course, the fair wouldn’t be complete without the headlining bands on the main stage.
On July 5th, Country music star David Lee Murphy will offer a memorable performance that will likely include his two #1 hit songs, “Dust on the Bottle” and “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.” On July 6th, don’t miss the dynamic and energy-packed performance of the alternative rock band Fuel, known for their songs “Shimmer” and “Bad Day.” On July 7th, the fantastic Jesus Ojeda, whose sound is based in norteño, banda, and corrido, particularly narcocorridos, prepare to be entertained with his exceptional musical talent. On July 8th, The Commodores, the internationally recognized soul and funk band, are scheduled to take the stage and dazzle the audience with hits including “Brick House.” “Easy.” and “Three Times a Lady.”. The following day, July 9th, the country sensation Lone Star is set to entertain the audience with their 9 #1 hits and 16 other chart toppers. On July 10th, the iconic southern rock band and A&M recording artist 38 Special will play a variety of hits and tracks from their 12 studio albums. On July 11th, the renowned Platinum-selling country music artist Scotty McCreery will mesmerize us with his stunning performance of his hits “See You Tonight” and “Five More Minutes.”. On July 12th, the hard rock band Great White, known for their captivating stage presence, will be lighting up our stage with hits like “Rock Me,” “Once Bitten Twice Shy,” and “The Angel Song.” With 9 albums released the pop-punk sensations All Time Low are set to deliver an unforgettable performance on July 13th that will take you back to the Warped Tour. Finally, to close out an incredible series of performances, on July 14th, the vibrant and exciting regional Mexican band La Septima Banda. Their infectious energy and foot-tapping music will close the Fair on a high note.
