Bud Tent

The Budweiser Stage features artists and bands that will have you singing and dancing along.

We're finally ready for another Missouri State Fair coming up this week.  Along with all the usual madness and fun, comes a lot of great music.

Whenever I see a lesser known act performing at a small venue, it's pretty rare that I think "This artist is going to be huge someday," but I was definitely thinking that after seeing Rachel Farley perform four shows in two days at the Missouri State Fair's Bud Tent.

It is not very often lately that a band returns to play the Missouri State Fair's Bud Tent two years in a row, but that is exactly what has happened this year with Native Run. Last year they were just getting their roots in Nashville, and now they are close to signing a record deal and putting out a new CD.

Although the big national acts at the Pepsi Grandstand are a lot of fun, you can't forget about the rest of the entertainment at the Missouri State Fair, especially the shows at the Bud Tent!

The Missouri State Fair is right around the corner, and everyone has been talking about what concert they are most excited for at The Pepsi Grandstand. The State Fair committee has always done a great job bringing top notch entertainment to perform at the Pepsi Grandstand, but they have also brought great talent to the Bud Tent. Oh, by the way, it's free!

Well, the state fair is here and all those familiar sights, sounds and smells are back with it.  One of my favorite smells is this smell of fresh hot roasted peanuts.  Did you know that the peanut stand that sits between the Bud Tent and Mango Jacks has been at the Missouri State Fair for 100 of it's 110 year history?  That's amazing!

Well, we are less than a week  away from the Missouri State Fair.  It seems like I always wind up doing the same things at the fair.  You know: Bud Tent, corn dog, Bud Tent, corn dog, concert... But this year I'm gonna go see some other things.
