Hey All – Jason here. I know you are probably tried of hearing from me. “Where is Mike?” you ask. I am glad you asked. Mike is currently sequestered. Once again he is a “celebrity judge” for the Iowa State Fair queen competition. The Iowa State Fair queen competition is sort of like the Miss America Pageant of the Iowa State Fair. But don’t call it a beauty pageant, it is a “leadership pageant”. It is a competition amongst all 99 of the Iowa County Queens competing for the honor. The winner spends the next 10 days of the fair signing autographs, shaking hands, kissing babies, giving awards, and smiling for the camera. The winner also spends the next year representing the Iowa State Fair at functions and events until they crown her successor the next year. As you might imagine, Mike is supremely qualified to select this winner. The Iowa State Fair Queen Competition is a time honored tradition, as are corn dogs, pork chop on a stick, spin art, cowboy hats, midways, big pigs, and . . . . The Nadas.
Yes, once again we are about to kick off the Iowa State Fair by playing 2 shows a night for the first 3 nights. We play Thursday, Friday, Saturday on the Anderson Erickson stage at 7pm and 9pm. Come early and grab a beverage and sandwich from our friends at the Birds Nest. Because I can’t get enough I am also playing solo on Sunday, Wed, Thursday, and Friday at the Birds Nest at the Anderson Erickson Stage. Got to our Facebook event page, RSVP and get more info.
And be sure to check out the Authentic Records online store for the crazy sale they’re having: 15% off all our merchandise! And if you order more than 3 items of our merch you get free shipping and an authentic Iowa State Fair corn dog. I mean it. I’m going to be purchasing them myself right at the fairgrounds. Although once you get your corn dog it might look mighty tasty, consume it at your own risk.
Also, if you didn’t make it to our Rock and Rye show in Templeton a couple of weeks ago, we have made a live recording of the show available for sale HERE.
If you don’t want to commit to a whole show, the song Templeton Rye from the show is this weeks Authentic Records Weekly Ear Snack for free. follow this link:
Weekly Ear Snack : The Nadas : Templeton Rye – A tribue to Meryl Kerkhoff
I hope we see you at the fair!
Love and pickle dawgs,
The Nadas
