The concerts will take place in the field next to Total Sports parking lot and will be ad- jacent to a beer garden and other activities. Performances on both nights will take place before and after the balloon “glows.” On Friday, from 6:45 to 8 p.m., and again from 9:30 to 10:45 p.m., Mustang Sally will take the stage. The band has performed alongside high profile names such as Montgomery Gentry, Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich, and Blake Shelton, in addition to being demanded world- wide as fair and festival headliners. Mustang Sally has been described as “what happens when you throw Alabama and Lynyrd Skynyrd in a blender, add a dash of Comedy Central and a hint of Lady Gaga.” On Saturday from 6:40 to 8 p.m. and 9:30 to 10:50 p.m., the Menus will perform. The band promises that if the audience “leaves a Menus concert without the dancing, laughing and entertainment of a lifetime, the Menus didn’t succeed in their goals, but this rarely happens.” The Menus were established in 1983 with the name being developed by the original gui- tar player who collected menus from restau- rants. From early on, lead singer Tim Goldrainer has established a groundbreaking performance to continue business at the height of their career. EVENT SPECIAL! From 1983 to 1989 as the band progressed, they began a new era. New artists were intro- express duced with additional variations in music. $ The Menus are now going on 37 years of rock ‘n’ roll. Both concerts are free, but VIP seating is available for Friday evening that includes drinks, 5 $30OFF snacks, up-front viewing area, private bars, restrooms, parking and a chance to win a hot air $ balloon ride for two. purchase Visit the website visitrossfordohio.com for more information and VIP tickets.
