Tickets for country music rising star Jason Michael Carroll's concert on Tuesday, July 27 are on sale now at the Fair's website www.bremercountyfair.com for $15.00. The day of the show prices will rise to $22, this is a reduction from the $30 that was to be charged the day of the show. The reduction is in response to the catastrophic natural disasters that struck the Cedar Valley area earlier this summer.
The fair association would like to invite all to come and enjoy an affordable evening of great country music. Local country band Lockren will kickoff the evening at 7 pm followed by Jason Michael Carroll.
Carroll has had top five hits "Alyssa Lies" and "Livin' Our Love Song". His current hit "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead" is in the top 20 on the charts.
