Country music artist Trace Adkins had to cancel his appearance at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair on July 29 because of a scheduling conflict. Country music duo Montgomery Gentry is stepping in to take his place.

“While we’re disappointed to not have Trace Adkins able to join us as planned, we’re excited to be able to bring in a great act like Montgomery Gentry to take his place. This will be the first time Montgomery Gentry  performs at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair and I am really excited to see them on our stage,” said Rich Utley, 2015 fair board president.

Grandstand seating will be free with fair admission on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tickets for the Trace Adkins show will be honored at the Montgomery Gentry performance.
