Another country music artist will take the grandstand stage at Grange Fair. Here’s the latest announcement
In their fourth announcement, Grange Fair organizers announced another country artist will be a grandstand performer this year.
Mark Wills will perform at the Grange Fair grandstand on Monday night, Aug. 22, organizers announced on Facebook Friday. Wills, an American country music artist, has released seven albums since 1996, including his best-selling album “Wish You Were Here.” He’s known for hits such as “19 Somethin’,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Back at One” and “Don’t Laugh at Me.”
Grandstand shows are free; admission to the fair is required. In past weeks, fair organizers announced Diamond Rio, an American country band, Jacob Tolliver, a country rock “self-taught piano prodigy,” and Bruce Springsteen tribute band Bruce in the USA will also perform at the grandstand during the fair. Entertainment announcements are expected every Friday at 10 a.m. on the fair’s Facebook page.
The 2022 Grange Fair is set for Aug. 19-27. Going to the fair is a longstanding tradition for many families and acts as a home-away-from-home for a lot of the 1,000 families who stay in tents and 1,500 RVs at the fairgrounds. It is the only remaining tenting fair in the nation, according to its website.
