BREAKING NEWS! Chris Cagle cancels; Jo Dee Messina is new headline act for 2015 Allamakee County Fair

The Allamakee County Fair Board was informed Friday, July 10 that due to severe vocal cord issues, Chris Cagle, the headline act for the Friday, July 17 grandstand show at this year's Fair has had to cancel his Allamakee County Fair appearance. "While we are saddened by the news, we understand the circumstances and hope Chris is feeling better very soon," relayed the Fair Board in a posted statement. The Fair Board has been working very closely with WQPC Radio out of Prairie du Chien, WI to put together the musical entertainment for the Fair again this year. Both parties sprung into action once they heard the news of Cagle's cancellation and are happy to announce that Jo Dee Messina will be taking Chris Cagle’s place as the headliner for the Friday, July 17 grandstand show. "We are very thankful she graciously has stepped in to save the day! We know she will put on an excellent show and look forward to working with her," the Board remarked. All tickets purchased previously for the Dylan Scott/Chris Cagle concert will still be valid for the event Friday, July 17. Anyone with further questions about a ticket purchased for the event individually is asked to e-mail the Fair Board at allamakeefair@gmail.com. "We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are extremely excited for the line-up of the 162nd “Bigger and Better” Allamakee County Fair," the Board shared. "Please come join us!"
