Elvis Tribute Artist Among the Great Entertainment Featured At the Clinton County Fair August 1 to 8

Elvis Tribute Artist Ryan Pelton heads the entertainment at this year’s Clinton County Fair August 1 to 8. In addition to Pelton, there will also be other fine entertainment at the fair as well. And of course, there will be other fair features, such as demolition derbies, animal and other agricultural displays, and a wide variety of other activities.

“We’re excited for this year, and we invite you to come out and enjoy and support your Fair!” Fair Managers Donna Wech and Barb Forshey told Webb Weekly. “We try to bring in a variety of entertainment for all ages — there really is something for everyone.”

“We also want to thank our Fair vendors and exhibitors, area businesses, and all of our volunteers for their support,” added Wech and Forshey. “We couldn’t do it without you!”

Ryan Pelton performed with the world’s largest impersonator production show, Legends in Concert, for nearly a decade; he appeared in an all-Elvis version of The Weakest Link television show, which he won; was a body double for Elvis as he performed a duet on American Idol with Celine Dion; and played the role of Elvis in the Dakota Fanning movie, “Hounddog.”
