Creedence Clearwater Revisited VIP Concert for 2012 Delaware County Fair
Front
Posted 6 February 2012
A classic band with dozens of hits to their name is headed for Manchester to headline the VIP concert for the 2012 Delaware County Fair. Jeannie Domeyer, Manager of the Fair made the announcement of the VIP concert last Friday night at Manchester’s winter edition of the First Friday @ Five. Headlining the traditional Friday night VIP concert with their legendary American rock is Creedence Clearwater Revisited.

CCR, headlined by Stu Cook and Doug Clifford “Cosmo”, original CCR band members, bring back the meaning of the music as they originally played it. Having toured North America, South America, Central America, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Asia, knocking out audiences with astounding concerts jam packed with songs that are still a staple of radio and movie soundtracks, Creedence Clearwater Revisited has come a long way.  “In the beginning Cosmo and I decided that if we could find the musicians that could capture the sound and recreate what the music was about, we’d do it,” recalls Stu.

Creedence Clearwater Revival had over 10 hits on Billboard’s top ten list including 5 #2 hits. No other bands have had more than that except for Elvis Presley and Madonna. Stu and Cosmo and their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited add a new chapter to their legacy with vibrant and exhilarating energy and pure American spirit. As the Hollywood Reporter’s music critic John Lappen wrote about a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert in Los Angeles, “Their set was an amazing list of hit after hit that was done serious justice by the players involved.”

Seating for the VIP concert will include track seating at $60 which all you care to eat and drink with a full meal, beverages, wait staff and an area for dancing. Domeyer says, “This is our eleventh VIP concert, even the rain last year couldn’t stop the fun that happens during the concert atmosphere of VIP night at the Delaware County Fair!”

Tickets go on sale for this show on March 10th at 9:00 a.m. Tickets will be available at the Fair office, by calling 563.927-6449 or here.

Delaware County Fair Announces Montgomery Gentry As Country Concert for 2012 Fair
Front
Posted 2 December 2011
One of country music’s all time great duos is headed to Manchester to headline the Thursday Night, Country show at the 2012 Delaware County Fair.  Jeannie Domeyer, Manager of the Fair, made the announcement that headlining the concert with their down to earth stylings and working man’s music is Montgomery Gentry.

Two boys from Kentucky, Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry served notice to the music world as they busted on to the national scene in 1999 with their first hit single, “Hillbilly Shoes”.  They followed this song with the release of 13 additional top 10 songs with five songs climbing the charts all the way to number 1.  Their blue collar approach to their music hits a chord with many Americans and their mission is to create songs that people will be able to touch and say, “Yeah man, that song is a little bit about me.”  The duo just recently released their newest collection, aptly titled Rebels On The Run.  The first single to be release from this album, “Where I Come From” is climbing the charts.  Domeyer said, “Their new album is the traditional Montgomery Gentry sound.  It’s filled with songs that allow you to relate with the artist.  Songs people can associate with.”

Montgomery Gentry has won a host of CMA awards including Vocal Duo of the year and most recently the humanitarian award in 2010 for their service to many charitable organizations. 

Seating for the Montgomery Gentry concert will include track seating at $35 or the new all inclusive courtyard seating.  A fresh idea for the 2012 Fair, this seating option includes a general admission bleacher seat for the show, snacks, beverages, wait staff and an area for dancing. Domeyer says, “The new seating option is aimed at giving people an 'all inclusive' option for attending the concert.  Our fair prides itself on our "pay one price and participate in everything inside the fair" philosophy, courtyard seating takes this to the next level allowing the fairgoer to buy  tickets, come to the fair, go into the courtyard and have a relaxing time without have to run to get a drink, fight the crowd for a snack or really leave the area for anything.  We have a strong desire to give our fairgoer a fuss-free experience that is relaxing and enjoyable.  We think this seating option does just that!”

Tickets for Montgomery Gentry will go on sale at 9:00 AM December 17, in time for Christmas.  Tickets will be available at the Fair office, by calling 563.927.6449 or at www.delawarecofair.com.

Updates and New Displays at Heartland Acres
Front
Posted 8 November 2011
Visitors to Heartland Acres campus have the opportunity to view several new displays in the growing and changing museum. Continuing to keep a fresh look and bring in additional displays is always a priority for the staff and supporters of Heartland Acres commented Craig Johnson, Executive Director of Heartland Acres. 

Recently arrived from the State Historical Society archives in Des Moines are two rarely seen items.  A Thiemann tractor produced and built between 1936 and 1944 in Albert City, Iowa as well a 1919 Milburn Electric car.  The car was owned and driven by Mrs. Arletta Clarke, wife of former Iowa Governor George W. Clarke. Governor Clarke served in from 1901 – 1909 as a member of the Iowa House or representatives and served as speaker from 1904 - 1909. He also served as Lieutenant Governor from 1909 – 1913 then was elected Governor in 1912 and again in 1914.  The 1919 Milburn Electric could go 40 miles on a single charge.  

Also arrived is a 1937 Case CCS (stands for Case Cane Special) High Crop tractor.  This tractor is on loan from Doug DeShaw from Hopkinton, Iowa.  It is one of 65 built and is now one of 15 known survivors.  Doug owns several other Case tractors and spends much of his spare time repairing and showing antique tractors.

Heartland Acres newest display was created by Leanne Harrison and features historical information and artifacts recounting the life of Charlie Williams, builder and promoter of the once famous horse racing track in Independence in the early 1890’s. What is also part of this display is a story of the businessman and industrialist Jerome Increase Case who founded and built the J.I. Case Corporation.  Through research by Harrison she found that Jerome Increase Case owned race horses.  One of his horses named, Jay Eye See (a play on JI Case’s name) raced at the Independence track. 

Many more stories and displays about our agricultural heritage can be seen at Heartland Acres Agribition Center.
