Vote For Your Favorite Bands

More concerts and bands are playing this summer than anyone can see.
So yes, we want to know who your favorite bands are. It may influence someone to go to a show and have a great time.
Also, if you feel literary, we do want to know about the venue. Does it have shade? How's the parking? Food choices? Bathrooms?
If you are respectful, your comments will be made visible. If unfit for the majority of our readers and subscribers, they will be dumped like a bad habit.

4 Big Days of Fun... Next Month! |
|
I go to the fair every year I can. As a kid, I even made a few bucks, by setting up a Tilt-A-World ride. So I can add "Carnie" to my resume. Saw the FOGHAT band with my $7 ticket to the Fair, and they put on a great show.
I still like the thrill of a ride or two, but these days I'm mostly there to check out the baby goats, bunnies, chickens, and hogs.
I also like the exhibits, midway vendors, and candy apples.
