I think it is so important to know about your heritage and as much as I like change I think traditions should be respected and not forgotten. The band Mariachi Vargas started over 110 years ago and is still going strong. They have appeared in over 200 movies in their career! You can guess that the members have changed over the years, but their big brass sound withstands the test of time. I think it all goes back to staying true to your roots. Despite the changing times Mariachi Vargas has not drastically altered their sound and that is what makes them unique.

Mariachi Vargas started over 110 years ago in Tecalitlan, Mexico and has since continued the tradition of great music and brotherhood. The group has appeared in more than 200 motion pictures and was featured on Linda Ronstadt’s Grammy winning Spanish album in 1987. Since its foundation, the group has reorganized many times, changing members, changing instruments, but one thing that has not changed is their ability to entertain audiences without the abandonment of roots and tradition. This is clearly heard in their latest recordings: “5ta Generacion�, “Sinfonico I�, “Sinfonico II�, and “Penas, Desenganos…Y Amores.� Mariachi Vargas has withstood the test of time and proved itself to be an ever changing-yet traditional musical group.

I love great country music. Once I connected the name Sawyer Brown to familiar songs that I love I was more than excited that they were coming to our Fair! I love their version of “Keep Your Hands to Yourself;� it makes me want to get up and dance! They have such a wide range of music ranging from the inspirational “They Don’t Understand� to the fun loving “Some Girls Do.� This is going to be such a good down home night; grab a corn-on-the-cob, sit in the shade and listen to some great country music- what could be better?

Sawyer Brown has been creating daring country music for over two decades now. The Star Search champions have had hits like “Some Girls Do,��? “The Race Is On,��? “Step That Step,��? “This Night Won’t Last Forever,��? “The Walk��? and their cover of Dave Dudley’s “Six Days On The Road.��? Sawyer Brown has the ability to speak meaningfully to the country audience while showing them a real good time. The starting members named the band after a Nashville area street and had the goal of playing live as much as they could, anywhere that would have them. Now, the Grammy nominated and ACM award winning band is continuing their rein as the longest uninterrupted run as a band currently in country music.

As we were strolling their beautiful fairgrounds, there he was—a mechanical bull in my midst.

Humpz and Hornz Bull Riding

FoodMaxx Arena
Hosted by KAT Country 103
I am so stoked to have this new event at the Stanislaus County Fair! I have never seen bull riding, except for in the movies so I had my co-worker explain it to me. There are two judges that score the rider and the bull. When/ if the rider stays on the bull for 8 seconds he/she receives a score from both judges, added together then divided by two for the total. The bull rider that scores the highest, up to 100 points, wins the competition. There is no saddle and the bull rider must ride holding on to a bull rope with one hand. The rider is disqualified if he/she touches his/her body or the bull during the 8 seconds.
