Ohio State Fair Concerts

As Central Ohio shakes off the winter snow, thoughts turn to sunshine, corn dogs and the fried gooey goodness that is The Ohio State Fair, held this year from July 27, 2011 through August 7, 2011. One of the largest state fairs in the country, the Ohio State Fair is known as much for its good food as it is for its good music.

Just about every genre of music is represented at the fair so there is something for everyone - bad girls and good ol' boys, crooners and rockers! Check out the 2011 concert lineup:
