Olivia to perform at Illinois Fair, Aug 8 1975
(UPI) -SPRINGFIELD, III. Country singer Olivia Newton-John will open the Illinois State Fair’s grandstand shows on Aug. 8, Fair Manager Paul King said today.
Singers Bobby Vinton and John Davidson will also appear during the Fair King said during a radio talk show.
King also announced six program changes at the Fair, including a third beer garden, a “Teen World” exhibit and entertainment area, and a new mall area for farm machinery displays to replace the Farm-A-Rama building which burned last fall.
The third beer garden, King said, will be located on the roof of the Illinois Building and will be called “The Top Of The Fair.” It will feature dance bands during evening hours. Beer returned to the Fair last year after more than two dry decades.
The fair will run Aug. 8-15.
