The Pike County, MO Fair Entertainment Committee announced today that country music star Mark Chesnutt will headline this year's entertainment on the main stage Saturday night, July 30.

Chesnutt is one of Country’s true musical treasures. Critics have hailed him as a classic Country singer of the first order and some of Country music’s most elite entertainers, from George Jones to George Strait, echo the sentiment.

Mark’s stature is easily gauged.  He has 14 No. 1 hits, 23 top ten singles, four platinum albums and five gold records to his credit; he maintains a front-and-center presence with a hefty tour schedule year after year.

Mark is set to take the stage around 9:30 p.m.

Prior to Mark Chesnutt, Madd Hoss Jackson will perform beginning around 7:45 p.m. The group has performed in several venues across the midwest. Madd Hoss Jackson has had the opportunity to share the stage with many current and classic artists including the likes of Eric Church, Montgomery Gentry, the Charlie Daniels Band, Jake Owen, Hunter Hayes, the Kentucky Headhunters, Blackberry Smoke, Jerrod Niemann, Confederate Railroad and .38 Special, just to name a few.

Kicking the whole night off, Pike 41 is returning to the fair and is expected to begin at 6:30 p.m. Joey Ringhausen and Dylan Stubblefield released their first EP after last year's concert and can be downloaded on iTunes.
