Day 10 at the Grange Building at the State Fair brings us the talented folk singer John Bromka. He brings us not only singing, but also some bagpipes and a very neat instrument from Sweden called a nyckelharpa. (Short bagpipe video in comments)

Day 9 in the Grange Building at the State Fair brings us back to our normal schedule. All the water had been cleaned out of the building just in time to welcome the German folk dancers, the Edelweiss Schuhplatters of Utica. They do a fantastic job.

Day 8 in the Grange Building at the Sate Fair did not go as planned. We had planned to have the incredible singing duo Tammi Sue and JB, but Mother Nature had different plans for us. Due to the torrential rain, our building had a little bit of water that decided to come in. We ended up closing the building for the day early. The fair itself closed at 6pm due to the severe weather expected that night. Back to normal schedule for Day 9.

Day 7 at the Grange Building brings in a new act. The previously scheduled act needed to pull out due to medical reasons so we called in someone newish.... Todd Hobin from the Todd Hobin Band. He played in the Grange Building many years ago, so he was excited to get to come back.
