Although we learned of it two weeks ago and last week I interviewed the band's guitarist Don Barnes, The Utah State Fair just officially announced that .38 SPECIAL is the first act to be booked for the 2013 Utah State Fair Grandstand Entertainment lineup. Tickets for the general public go on sale Friday, May 17 at 10 a.m. online at utahstatefair.com, by phone at 801-538-FAIR (3247) and at the Utah State Fair Administration Building.

Pollstar is also reporting that Amy Grant will perform at the Fair, as well.
