Jason Aldean at the Punkin Vine Fair
Tuesday July 21

Jason Aldean

From jasonaldean.com

After selling two million copies of his first two albums, topping the charts with five smash hits, racking up award nominations and hitting every stop on the requisite “new artist” tour circuit for the last three years, country rocker Jason Aldean is running full throttle into Spring. Having just wrapped his first full and very successful headlining tour, he’s prepared to leverage that momentum with the release of his highly anticipated third album, Wide Open, due out April 7.

The Macon, Georgia native wrapped up 2008 on a high note. Aldean’s debut of “She’s Country,” the first single off the forthcoming CD and now the fastest-rising single of his carreer to date, was introduced with a lights-out performance on the CMA Awards in November.

 ! UPDATE -- ALL TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT

The Punkin' Vine Fair is bound by the contract with the Artist to hold tickets for them until the day of the show.  It is very possible that we may have some of those tickets to sell on show day Tuesday, July 21.  If this is the case, those tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis from our ticket booth located on the east end of the grandstand.  They will go on sale at 3:00 PM CST. 

 

 

 

Little Miss & Mister Contest

The Little Miss and Mister contest allows children between 5 and 8 to compete for the title of Little Miss or Little Mister Newton County.  This contest is not a beauty pageant.  The children are judged on their personality, spontaneity, interaction with the judges and host, and appearance.  This is an excellent way to introduce the stage and public speaking to young children.  It is a great way to bring younger children into the activities at the fair.

The winners receive a goodie bag, crown/tiara, sash and a ride all week bracelet for the carnival rides.   Little Miss and Mister are asked to attend the Miss Newton County pageant to hand our flowers to the contestants, 4-H judging events during the fair to hand out ribbons, and various other events during the fair.   Little Miss and Mister are required to have a parent or guardian with them at all times during their fair appearances.  There is a mandatory meeting that both the child and one parent need to attend prior to the fair.
