Jackson County Fair Draws Big Crowds for 38 Special Performance

Central Point, Oregon- The Jackson County Fair witnessed a significant turnout yesterday as the band 38 Special performed to an enthusiastic crowd. The band captivated the audience, particularly with their hit song “Hold on Loosely,” creating a memorable evening of music and celebration.

With over 10,000 attendees so far, the fair continues to attract large numbers. The Jackson County Expo and Fair Manager commented, “It was a great night at the Fair, with a busy carnival and food concessions, the 4H-FFA Swine Auction, and people enjoying the grounds acts and the AgVenture interactive learning and scavenger hunt.”

Tonight’s highlight will be the second headline music event at the Bi-Mart Amphitheater, featuring Josh Turner at 7 PM. The event has seen record ticket sales, and Turner’s distinctive voice, well-known in country radio for two decades, is expected to draw a considerable crowd. Opening for Turner is the band Highway Bound.
