Country music star Chris LeDoux to perform at Stanislaus County Fair!

Turlock—“Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy?” The answer is…Come hear Chris LeDoux perform at the Stanislaus County Fair!

Chris LeDoux, who went from bronc riding world champion in 1972 to country music star and energizing performer, will take the stage on Saturday, July 27 at 8:30 p.m. on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage.  All concerts on this stage are included with the price of fair admission.

Chris LeDoux has been making music since he was on the road as a bronc rider.  His most recent album, “Cowboy” is his 33rd album.  Some of LeDoux’s country music smash hits are “Life is a Highway,” “Cadillac Cowboy,” “Cadillac Ranch,” “Copenhagen,” and “For Your Love.”

Chris LeDoux does more than just sing cowboy songs--he lives the cowboy life.  “His songs reflect his life.  If you have never been to Wyoming, ridden a horse or been on the rodeo circuit his music will take you there,” commented Pennie Rorex, Fair spokeswoman.

“LeDoux has a huge fan base in the Central Valley which can be attributed to his down to earth attitude, meaningful music and his energetic show,” shared Rorex. “In fact, in LeDoux’s song ‘Running through the Rain,’ he sings of rodeo time in Oakdale.  That sends his local fans into frenzy.”

As of today, the lineup on the Budweiser Variety Free Stage includes:

Grand Funk Railroad
- Friday, July 26.
Chris LeDoux – Saturday, July 27
Collin Raye
- Sunday, July 28
Tower of Power – Wednesday, July 31

The Stanislaus County Fair is now in its 91st year.  The 2002 fair opens Friday, July 26 for a 10-day run.  The theme of this year’s fair is “Through the Eyes of a Child.”  Last year,  215,000 family members enjoyed the Fair.

The mission of the Stanislaus County Fair is to provide a family and community oriented experience promoting agriculture, education, entertainment and technology.
