Fair Kickoff Concert seeks opening act
The Caribou County Fair will be coming to Grace in August, and there’s nothing I like more than fairs. And if there is, it might be at a fair anyway. This year’s theme is “Blue Jeans and Country Dreams,” and should be another great event. Daphney Medina is adding a bit of extr excitement to the kickoff event, a free concert at the Fairgrounds Arena featuring Alex Sharpe, Mark Mackay, and Ryan Shupe on August 2. Many Caribou County residents may know Sharpe, whose Irish lilt stood out even among the Celtic Women she is most known for. A local act is being given the chance to audition through a video submission, which will be judged by the performers for the concert.
The fair being an event that draws the county together, the Enterprise is a big believer in the importance of the Caribou County Fair. Medina is looking for performers, as well as support of other kinds. For our part, I’m going to give her the space to make her case, and we endorse the effort completely!
Daphney Medina:
Hello!
Maybe you’ve heard, maybe you haven’t...I am so excited to be organizing a concert to kick off our very own Caribou County Fair this year! We have 3 incredibly talented artists coming to put on an amazing show! But, here is my favorite part -- ANYONE and EVERYONE is invited to submit an audition video to be an Opener for the Concert! It gets better -- the ARTISTS will be choosing their favorites! Is that cool or what?!
The theme of the fair this year is “Blue Jeans & Country Dreams.” There are a lot of really talented dreamers out there that I hope will submit an audition video for their shot at being a STAR! Maybe you are one of them?
If singing on stage isn’t your thing, don’t worry! You can still help! I am looking for sponsors, vendors, and volunteers to make this event a HUGE success! If this is more up your alley, please let me know!
The concert is FREE to the public, so any size of sponsorship donation would be greatly appreciated. What do you get with your donation? I’m very glad you asked!
All sponsors will be featured in all the advertising I do for the concert as well as mentioned on the stage concert night. Yes, high level donors will be featured in larger print. Banners, flyers, booths, or a combination of all of the above are welcome and encouraged to be hung up, handed out, and manned on concert night.
Not able to donate? No problem! Maybe you have a business you’d like to set up as a Vendor for concert night? Vendors could include food, drinks, clothing, jewelry, face painting, balloon animals, photo booths, the list goes on! Let me know what you’re dreaming up, and I’ll try to help you make it a reality!
Maybe you don’t want to miss out on all the action but do better behind the scenes? Let me tell you, I LOVE my volunteers! Events take some work, and many hands make the work lighter. Please let me know if you want to be part of the “CREW,” and I will be forever grateful to you and your kind heart!
Check out the flyer I’ve attached on the left. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I am very excited to partner with you to make this concert a success!
