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.

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?

In the spirit of the Stanislaus County Fair’s motorsports and bull riding tickets going on sale this Saturday, we visited opening day of the Spring Fair in Los Banos yesterday.
As we were strolling their beautiful fairgrounds, there he was—a mechanical bull in my midst.

NEW Humpz and Hornz Bull Riding event at the Fair!

Humpz and Hornz Bull Riding

Sunday July 27, 7 p.m.
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.

In the process of sending out these concert announcements I have read some information on each of the artists and I was personally inspired by the story of Clay Walker. He was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 10 years ago and is still touring and living his successful career.

Do you have those songs that when they come on the radio you slow down a little bit and just listen? There is just something about them that relaxes and inspires you. It gives you an extra boost for the day and you feel rejuvenated.
