The Cheeseballs. The name says it all: groovy, funky danceable fun. The Cheeseballs pride themselves on serving up a helping of non-stop '70s disco, '80s pop classics, hip-hop, rock & current hits with an uncanny knack for performing songs that everyone knows the words to. The result is always an audience dancing and singing along. Thursday, July 29 • 8 p.m.

So if you wanna rock-n-roll, put on your best AC/DC tour shirt and hop on the highway to hell with AC/DShe. Sunday, August 1 • 8 p.m.
Super Diamond has transcended the label of "tribute band" by passionately immersing themselves in Neil Diamond's huge repertoire and delivering a high-octane show of unforgettable classics such as 'Cracklin' Rosie,' 'Sweet Caroline,' 'Forever in Blue Jeans' and many others. Monday, August 2 • 8 p.m.
Double Funk Crunch is a high-spirited ten-piece group of funksters recovering the lost art of a live funk band.

Tuesday, August 3 • 8 p.m.
The Fabulous Bud E. Luv. A long-time favorite in San Francisco, the over-the-top lounge singer is beloved for his hilariously cheesy antics and swingin' renditions of rock and pop hits. Bud E., a singer's singer, will vocally red-carpet glide through such tunes as "She Wore Blue Velvet," "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Light My Fire," "What's New Pussycat," "Kumbuya," and any kind of rock that could use a good flavoring of "lounge." Wednesday, August 4 • 8 p.m.
"A Portrait of Patsy Cline" with Joni Morris. With music, costumes and her top-notch back-up band, After Midnight, Joni Morris re-creates the glory days of country and western legend Patsy Cline.

Sonoma County Fair
July 27 - Aug. 8, 2010
Thank you so much for the work you’ve done to make this year’s fair a great time. We had fun all day including horseracing, Ibleto’s (pasta), Dixieland parade, animals, chickens, baby goats, cows, Clo’s ice cream, and a big dill pickle.

Thank you! The Derby Dog Dash was the most fun I’ve had since the Harvest Fair last year. Splash Dogs was also great, and the AcroCats were a class act.

We are new to the community so this is our first time at the fair. I can honestly say this is the best fair we've been to, and we've been to fairs from San Diego to Wisconsin!

We spent four annual summer vacations in Sonoma County during those years, visiting the fair each time, and remember those trips with much fondness. We would still be making the annual trek if we still lived in Las Vegas, NV, but we have since moved to Florida.
Thanks!
