Country, rock and pop fans are in for a treat when these musicians take the stage to play hits like ‘Save a Horse (Ride A Cowboy),” “Lost in The Moment,” “8th of November” and other fan favorites.

Opening the Aug. 21 concert event will be famed funny guys Williams & Ree. This comedy duo has been bringing laughter to both live and television audiences since 1960. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Concert tickets for Collective Soul, Gin Blossoms, Big & Rich with Cowboy Troy, and Williams & Ree go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. May 15 at avfair.com. Seating is limited for Gold Circle, Trackside and Standing Room tickets.

“We are excited with this year’s concerts series line-up,” stated A.V. Fair and Event Center Board President Drew Mercy. “Fair goers will have a choice of genres ranging from soulful alternative to traditional rock and roll, legendary to contemporary country sounds to top rated comedians. We are expecting sell-out shows for all of the performances, so I encourage folks to get their tickets early.”

    Thats why the boys hang with Marv. He gets them special parking in the back and sometimes lets them sleep in his motor home if they get too hammered. That is if he is not using the motorhome himself. Wink Wink
