I know it's the beginning of Summer, but we can still talk about the Benton County Fair and the entertainment list that will be on the Beer Garden Stage this August.

The Benton County Fair is always the first week of August.  And this year it actually starts on the first day of August - that doesn't always happen that way, but every so often it does.

The beer garden stage is where you will get live, local talent each night of the fair.  This year there will also be some live music on the beer garden stage on the last day, that Sunday during the afternoon to wrap up this year's fair.

The schedule starts that Tuesday night, August 1st with a favorite of the area, Diamondback.

DiamondBack plays a great mix of the newest country heard on country radio, and of course a few classics and a little bit of rock.
They are always learning new songs to keep their show fresh.
