Tuesday, July 23 - Today at the California Mid-State Fair

by Tina Swithin

Last night, John Mayer rocked the California Mid-State Fair much to the delight of droves of swooning women in the Chumash Grandstand Arena.  How do I know?  I was one of them!  What an amazing show and a talented artist. T'was another fun night in Paso Robles! 

What's happening today at the 2013 California Mid State Fair?  Well, I am glad that you asked because I have the answers for you!  Tonight, the Chumash Grandstand Arena welcomes Rascall Flats and The Band Perry which is the highest selling show for this year's fair.  Do you want the good news?  There are still tickets left!  I hope to see you there!     

If you can't make tonight's show, stay tuned because there is still a lot more to come! This week, the fair welcomes Van Halen (Wednesday), Brit Floyd (Thursday) and Huey Lewis & the News (Friday).  The final round-up includes the Country Rodeo Finals and the Monster Truck Show.
