SEMO Fair announces entertainmentWednesday, April 22, 2009
The fair announced its lineup to the public today, with Little Big Town performing Sept. 17, Joe Nichols Sept. 18 and John Michael Montgomery Sept. 19. Little Big Town was formed in 1998, according to CMT.com. The band made its public debut on the Grand Ole Opry in 1999, and the group's second album, "The Road to Here," was certified gold in 2006 on the strength of the hit "Boondocks." Nichols broke through in 2002 with his No. 1 hit "Brokenheartsville." The following year he won the CMA Horizon award. Nichols released his follow-up album "Revelation" in 2004. In 2005 his single "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" helped his album "III" reach gold status. Montgomery is a veteran of the country music world, having gained fame in 1993 with his million-selling debut "Life's A Dance." His major hits include "I Love the Way You Love Me," "I Swear" and "Rope the Moon." He is the younger brother of Eddie Montgomery from the popular country group Montgomery Gentry. Other grandstand entertainment includes the Dual Demo Derby, Midwest Classic Horse Show, tractor/truck pulls and the Heartland Idol karaoke competition. Tickets will be available beginning July 21.

I guess you can call the fair this year bootheel rodeo 2.......
Nothing but country this year - guess I'll keep my Fair dollars in my pocket this year.
Dang! I was hoping for at least Alabama or Rhonda Vincent.
What a SHOCKER!!!
You people will never learn will you.
come on semo district fair! no rockbands?? what a shame...as usual...it is just another bootheel rodeo
"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off".
Now you have my attention. I may go listen to some of this hick music just out of curiousity.
WOOOOOOHOOOO...YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA...
Great line up SEMO FAIR, Our group can't wait you
folks always do a great job. All country music,
Demo derby, Tractor pull, Live stock out in the barn and Carmel apples, Now that's a great day out with family and friends.
Well I think that it is about darn time that there will be some DECENT entertainment at the fair!!!!! I love Joe Nichols, and John Michael Montgomery. I also like REO Speedwagon, and Styx. Too bad we can't get Journey(they are awsome) or Bon Jovi. I am versital when it comes to music. I love it all(except rap, I usually put a c in front because it is cr--). Looks like I'll be at the fair more than one night.
Seems like a pretty fair lineup! :)

Never heard of them.
I like rap music myself.
I think it's better this year than many of the years past. For the board members reading this, thank you for donating your time to bring this to our community and at least giving us SOMETHING to do. You can't please everyone, but I think this is a decent line up.
Decent line up? It's only one genre of music. They could have at least got one local rock band to perform on one of the less crowded nights. They had it right by having some rock, country, and some other various music mixed into one week. I mean come on, last summer Boston, Journey, and Heart were touring.
This lineup is just great for all the Country Hicks around. But what about all of us Rock Chicks? I know a lot of other options too!!! Maybe some Barry Manilow for the Older Crowd, Or how about a Mexican Artisit for all the Mexican's around, and what about Utada Hikaru for all the Asians, and oh India has some really Great Pop Artists Right now a lot of the doctor's will love this one, Oh and what about the younger generation, maybe some Coldplay or Pink, Let's see leave any Group out???? Everybody including the Fair Board Needs to realize that not everybody likes the same kinds of music. You also need to realize that it's hard to get people to come and play the fair for what we can afford to pay them. If you want to see Bigger better acts be ready to pay more to see them and enter the fair. :) Just my thoughts......
Well how about they just STOP having any entertainment or having the fair for that matter "NOT". I personally like all kinds of music,But it makes no difference to me and our friends if we pay to see the performers or not.
We have a good time with all of the other activities that are going on. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure no one will be missing all the COMPLAINERS anyway.
Nothing like a great FAMILY fair! Overpriced food for the the overweight masses, beer-swilling rednecks walking around, and songs about screwing drunk chicks!
Way to go!
boring!
why not some variety? How about rock one night, christian contemporary music one night, and your country music another night? Offer something for everyone instead of catering only to the country folk.
the eye- I have to agree.
