Weekend Planner May 6-8

It's all about the Dixon May Fair this weekend. Check out some of the cool things on the Events Calendar and see if there's something for you.

Friday:

Trace Adkins made his debut in the country music world more than a decade ago with a platinum-selling album and has since become an undeniable musical force, earning his place among the most identifiable artists of his generation. His hard-driving stage show is full of hits, making him one of country music’s top headlining and in-demand artists today.The word “legend” usually makes an appearance at some point when discussing Merle Haggard. It’s an acknowledgment of his artistry and his standing as “the poet of the common man.” It’s a tribute to his incredible commercial success and to the lasting mark he has made, not just on country music, but on American music as a whole. His body of work easily places him beside Hank Williams as one of the most influential artists in country music.

If you go: Doors open at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 7 p.m. The Dixon May Fair is at  655 S 1st St. in Dixon.  Ticket Prices are: $39 / $45 / $49 and includes all day admission.
