Ticketholders have much to see at this year's Iowa State Fair

DES MOINES --- "Only at the Fair" is an appropriate theme for the 2006 Iowa State Fair Aug. 10 through 20.
Because only at the fair will you get to see 10 days of star-studded entertainment lineups, including notables like James Taylor and country superstars Brad Paisley and Big & Rich. And let's not forget the classic rock sounds of JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS.
"We have a strong lineup of award-winning acts," said Lori Chappell, marketing director for the Iowa State Fair. "We're really excited."
A wide range of genres means something for everyone, and there's no shortage of big names, Smash Mouth and Bowling for Soup among them.
"We've been very fortunate. The fair has a great reputation to provide these acts with a great fan base," Chappell said.
A big fan base is what has driven James Taylor tickets sales so far. The tickets went on sale May 6 and are nearly sold out.
Last year, 1,005,238 people passed through the state fair gates. Chappell hopes to exceed that number this year.
Some of the big-name concerts won't cost you any extra. Gate admission is all that's needed to see JOAN JETT and rising pop star and Disney Channel standout Raven.
