HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair will celebrate ThankYou Thursday, Sept. 11. “Fund-raising efforts have enabled us to offer the Aaron Watson and Jack Ingram concert to go along with the planned $4 after 4 p.m. reduced gate promotion,” says Denny Stoecklein, Kansas State Fair’s General Manager. “We know individuals have purchased Aaron Watson and Jack Ingram concert tickets and we will refund their tickets and provide the purchasers with VIP seating.”
Aaron Watson and Jack Ingram are known for their popular “Red Dirt” style. Aaron Watson prides himself on a long career inspired by the greats of country music- George Strait, Chris LeDoux, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Jack Ingram was the winner of the 2008 Academy of Country Music “Best New Male Vocalist” award and was just the beginning of fame for Jack Ingram.
“We have had requests to feature “Red Dirt” artists at the U.S. Cellular Grandstand and now we have the opportunity to offer this as a free concert,” says Stoecklein.
In addition to the free concert, fairgoers arriving after 4 p.m. will be able to purchase gate admission tickets for only $4, just in time for dinner “On A Stick.”
