Country music Hall of Famer Kenny Rogers will perform on August 24. On August 25, two-time Grammy Award and three-time CMA Award-winning artist Travis Tritt will perform.

Other musical acts to perform at the fair will include a contemporary gospel group called the Jon Henninger Band, .38 Special, Rodney Atkins, as well as K.C. and the Sunshine Band.
