2010 Press Releases

On Saturday, November 21, The Great Allentown Fair is launching its concert ticket sale for Keith Urban, the New Zealand-born, Australian-raised country superstar who is the first headliner announced for the fair’s 2010 Grandstand show line-up. His current single, “Only You Can Love Me This Way” topped Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart last week.

What do you say to a performer that sold 19,000 tickets to two shows at The 2009 Great Allentown Fair? According to fair operators, you say, "Hurry back next year!" Members of the Lehigh County Agricultural Society, the nonprofit organization that operates the fair, got more than just a financial report and the year in review at their annual meeting this morning (Wednesday, December 16). Bonnie Brosious, the fair’s marketing director and talent buyer, surprised them with the news that stand-up comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham will return to perform at the 2010 fair on Sunday, September 5.
