LEGACY applied to be considered for the 2011 State Fair last year.
We hoped to bring something new and something fresh to the MN State Fair in 2011 but unfortunately, we were declined the opportunity.
The MN State Fair has a history of keeping MN traditions; the food, the rides and maybe the entertainment. We must not fit in that tradition for now. We were not given a reason as to why we were not welcomed to perform there. We were given the stereotypical “at this time” speech and got all of our materials back (DVD samples, photos etc.)
Perhaps what we do isn’t the best fit for the fair. However, I think LEGACY could have brought something different to the table and attracted the younger crowds to the fair. The show would have rocked the cheese-curds out of everyone that’s for sure.
There has been some talk about LEGACY not being country enough (which personally, I can agree- it’s everything but country) for the fair. Also, there may be some issues concerning this being an MJ show. Some promoters and venues get a little concerned with the material being “too sensitive”. That is, until they see the show and the numbers our show actually pulls; then the concern level changes. (wink,wink)
The MN State Fair would have been a new, fun stop for us but unfortunately you will not get to see the show there. The good news: you will get to see us at SteppingStone Theatre where you won’t overheat and it’s reasonably priced!! YAY!
