I have so many memories of going to the Harford Fair through the years.  One of the first interviews I ever did was with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band when they played the Harford Fair about the time 'Fishin' In The Dark' was hitting the top 5.  And through the years, this wonderful agricultural fair welcomed some amazing talent including the Judds, Brad Paisley, Craig Morgan and many more.

Known as "the biggest little fair in the world," the Harford Fair in Harford PA, is one of the oldest continuing fairs in America and celebrating the 159th edition with a full schedule today through Saturday August 27th.

This year's fair features Bengal tigers, performing pets, semi truck and gas truck pulls, farm and hot tractor pulls, a woodsman contest, and the popular rodeo and demolition derby.  Glenn Pitcher from the Hawk morning show will be at the Harford Fair Wednesday afternoon (August 24) from 4-6pm.

Thursday is full of music with the Jason Wicks Band playing the Shade Pavilion at 2:30pm, and in the main grandstand at 7:30 it's co-headliners Chris Janson ('Buy Me a Boat') and new Vocal Group of the Year nominees Old Dominion.

If you're going to the concert, here is some essential music to enjoy before and after the Thursday night concert!
