Brushville and Easton Corbin offer open air entertainment at the Logan County Fair

[August 08, 2018]  On Saturday evening, live entertainment at the Logan County Fair took on a new twist. Instead of holding the annual Country Concert in the grandstands an area was curtained off in the southeast corner of the fairground and the concert was held with an open air concert feel.

There were some bleachers provided and risers with chairs, but many of those in attendance brought their blankets or lawn chairs and sat back for an evening of great entertainment under the night sky.

The show opened with a band with local roots. Brushville calls Bloomington its home town, but Logan County can claim guitarist Kirk Ellis as its own. Ellis is a 1986 graduate of Lincoln Community High School.

The band took to the stage Saturday evening as the opening act for Easton Corbin.

In addition to some great music the shows included special effects and lighting that set the mood for a really upbeat evening.

During the program event coordinator David Irwin with assistance from Logan County Fair Queen Molly Schempp drew out the number for a $100 drawing, then Dan Naughton of Naughton Auctions auctioned off a guitar signed by Easton Corbin.
