Hey y'all! It's the Trailer Choir here. This past weekend was all about fairs and festivals. We started out in Syracuse, N.Y., for the New York State Fair. Our morning began at the CMT/Time Warner exhibit. We performed an acoustic set and then went on to sign autographs, take pictures and meet some new fans and friends. That night we performed a three-song set to open the show for Toby Keith. These fair and festival crowds got started early and didn't stop!

The next day we were in Allentown, Pa., for the Allentown Fair. We had a video interview with Sudz N Country online. Then we performed our opening set. We left the venue right on time to head over to Essex Junction, Vt., for the Champlain Valley Fair. This was all of our first time ever in Vermont. It was a great show and a great fair. That night we had the food of all fairs, CORN DOGS! We had been waiting all weekend to get our hands on some good ol' fair food!

That night, the bus headed to the airport to drop us off in Cleveland so we could fly to Madison, Wis., to perform for the Taste of Madison Festival. We literally ran through to the terminal just in time to make our flight. We got into town and hung out with our buddies from Q106 who were hosting the stage where we were performing. It was a beautiful landscape and we got to perform directly in front of the capitol to a vast crowd.

Our last day of the long weekend was Mon., Sept. 1st -- Labor Day. We closed the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul. What a beautiful fair! We started the show with "Rockin' the Beer Gut," and before we could start the second chorus, a gentleman in the center section about 10 rows back, pulled his shirt up to his chin and began to generously rub his ample bare belly! It was quite a sight! The show ended with an amazing fireworks show.

We are heading out next to Dallas! Holla! -- TC
