Do You Love to Sing? Idol Competition at the Fair!

Do you love to sing? If so, the Nevada County Fair is looking for talented vocalists to sing in the Nevada County Fair’s Idol Competition at this year’s Fair.

Nevada County residents between the ages of 16 and 28 are invited to participate in this crowd favorite on Wednesday, August 12, at 8 pm on the Pine Tree Stage at the Fairgrounds. The grand prize is $100, as well as a paid entry fee of $250 into the State Fair’s “Talent Star Search” competition in Sacramento.

Singers will be judged by a panel of local celebrities, who will narrow it down to three finalists. Audience members will then vote with quarters for the grand prize winner. The quarters will be weighed on stage and the winner will be announced that night. All quarters collected will be donated to the non-profit of the winner’s choice.

The entry fee is only $5, and entries close on Friday, August 7 at 5 pm. All contestants will receive a free admission pass to the Fair on Wednesday, and 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive Fair packages that include Fair admission, parking and arena tickets. A complete list of rules and a registration form can be obtained from the Fair’s website at www.nevadacountyfair.com, by calling the Fair Office at 273-6217, or sending an e-mail to Debby at debby@nevadacountyfair.com.

I might try it, just for fun.
Vote for me :)
I think I might sing,
"Almost Lover" or "Kiss Me"

Thanks for the chance to try it.

I love the Idol Competition at the fair. Talent can be found right here at our lovely fairgrounds during the fair. I always enjoy listening to the competitors.

Hi! Just wondering why you have to be a Nevada resident. We live in Yuba City and love to go to this fair. My daughter is 16 and loves to sing. She would enter if she was allowed.
Thank you,
Patty

Hi Anonymous,
You have to be a Nevada County resident so that if you win you can go on to the State Fair competition. The State Fair competition requires we that the Nevada County Idol winner be a Nevada County resident. Hope that helps, and thanks for asking. See you at the Fair.
