Fair Enough?

We're putting the last touches on a series of reels, jigs, strathspeys, and songs to keep you feeling cool this Thursday, August 16, at the Yolo County Fair! Look for us between 4:00 and 5:30 at the East Stage. The Fair starts this Wednesday, August 15, and you can download a complete PDF list of entertainers directly from the Fair's Official Website (or click here for the HTML version).

The Fair's free (though parking isn't), the food can't be beat, and the weather forecast for Thursday shows a high of only 91 degrees. Okay, so you won't need a jacket -- but that's still pretty mild. Once 5:30 rolls around and we pack up our cases, you can walk right into the Exhibit Hall next door to watch the taffy puller or a slicer-dicer demo, enter a raffle or two, and pick up all of the latest pencils, stickers, and refrigerator magnets from a variety of county service providers, or go line up for some of those amazing tacos, roast beef sandwiches, or chicken and corn.

It's such a lovely way to spend the evening!

Fair Weather, Friends!

"Fair weather" in Yolo County means the clear skies, sunshine, and dry heat of August -- just the sort of thing to make those awnings and exhibit halls at the County Fair seem that much more inviting!

Make sure to come by the Fair on Thursday, August 16 to catch Riggity Jig's afternoon performance. We'll be playing from 4 to 5:30 at the East Stage, just between the Arena and the Exhibit Hall. That's a good spot for refuge from the heat, with plenty of shade, a comfortable place to sit down, and cold drinks right nearby. And if your toes start tapping so much that you get the urge to jump to your feet and dance a quick jig, don't worry -- paramedics will be standing by.

The Yolo County Fair runs from August 15 though 19, 2007.
