BUCKY COVINGTON ROUNDS OUT FAIR ENTERTAINMENT LINE-UP

Bucky Covington, one of the new generation of country singers, and a successful participant on American Idol in 2004, will be performing on the final Saturday, at this year’s Central Washington State Fair.

Covington, who had three consecutive top ten hits in 2005 after the release of his debut album, will be performing at the Fair at 7:30 on October 2.   He’ll be performing hits “A Different World”, “It’s Good To Be Us”, “I’ll Walk” and many other original songs when he appears in Yakima.

Earlier Fair officials announced that they had signed country artist Clay Walker, rock band The Guess Who, comedian Bill Engvall, singers/comedians Williams & Ree, musical group Pablo Cruise and pop group Collective Soul to appear at this year’s Fair. 

Traditionally on both Sundays of the Fair, they present Latino artists to perform.  Fair president Greg Stewart said that they are currently working on signing the acts for those two days.

While all entertainment at the Fair is free with admission, there are some reserved seats available for Bucky Covington as well as all of this year’s entertainment.  Reserved seat tickets for Bucky Covington are $11.  The reserved seating prices do not include fairgrounds admission. Tickets for Bucky Covington will go on sale on Saturday, June 26 at 10 a.m. at the Fair ticket office and through TicketsWest locations.  Tickets for all other shows are on sale now.  To reserve seats call 1-800-325-SEAT.  For general information call 248-7160.
