Ed's Old Time Music
Ed has performed Old-Time Music for audiences of all ages for over 25 years. His lively, happy fiddle music has its roots in tradition with a down-home flavor. Audiences, especially children, are encouraged to join the band and play a variety of rhythm instruments such as spoon's maracas, and the old-fashioned, dancing puppets-on-a-stick called “lumberjacks” or pattywacks.
Ed plays his Old-Time Music on fiddle, guitar and alto saxophone, tine whistle mandolin, banjo, mountain dulcimer and harmonica. His musical diversity includes hoe-downs, polkas, gospel songs --, many of which date back over 1,000 years and have been passed down from generation to generation. You might recognize some, such as” Turkey in the straw,” “The Golden Slippers” and “My Darling Nellie Gray.”
Be sure to visit him as you stroll the grounds and midway at the fair. And if you happen to have a little one in tow – by all means, introduce him or her to a true living art form – Ed's Barnyard Music, have your camera ready and just wait to see the smiles.
THE GREAT Little BEAR SHOW
|
This is one of the very few bear acts in North America. Adults as well as children are enthusiastic to see these young bears perform. The educational aspect of the show is never ignored as Jeannette Rix is anxious to pass on her vast knowledge of these native American carnivores to those in attendance. Jeanette will coax several of her bears to perform tricks like dancing, slipping down a slide and spinning on a barrel. Free shows will be offered daily during the week of the fair. |
Tall Tex the Stilt Walker
It seems like only yesterday that TALL TEX first ambled
down the streets of a small California town for a parade, and
now - this is TALL TEX's 29th Anniversary!
Requests for TALL TEX to appear at fairs around California
came from that first parade in 1979. In just a few years,
Don's "frivolous hobby" became a vocation instead of a
vacation.
Don soon became TALL TEX - the stilted entertainer instead
of Don Cassady - building contractor.
His personality and love for children (of all ages) have led
to the development of additional stilted characters over the
past 29 years.
