With only one musical act booked for the Grandstand at this year’s Fair, and with this being the last year for concerts held there I feel sad… It was hard enough to hear the news that all major Fair concerts in the future will be moved to the new multimillion dollar amphitheater across the highway; but to see the Grandstand go out with a “poof” rather than a BANG is depressing.
