Six Acts Set to Entertain at Farmers Bank Stage During 2025 Clay County Fair

Spencer, Iowa — A full lineup of free entertainment is coming to the Farmers Bank Stage at the 2025 Clay County Fair, powered by SMU, from September 6-14. With six different acts scheduled to perform throughout the nine-day Fair, fairgoers can expect a lively mix of music, comedy, and interactive fun.

Kicking off the stage lineup from September 6-8 is Mind Games, an interactive comedy hypnosis show hosted by Jared Sherlock. Volunteers become the stars of the show as Sherlock guides them through hilarious challenges and imaginary adventures, guaranteeing plenty of laughs and unforgettable moments.

Also appearing September 6-8 is The Memories, a musical duo from Wisconsin featuring Warren Petryk and Tim Stevens. Known for their smooth harmonies and feel-good energy, The Memories deliver a nostalgic blend of classic tunes, laughter, and timeless entertainment perfect for audiences of all ages.

From September 9-11, Eric E takes the stage with his fast-paced, high-energy musical variety show. Renowned for his impressive guitar work, vocal versatility, and sharp wit, Eric invites the crowd to get involved, sometimes by shouting out a year so he can play a hit from it, creating a fun and interactive experience.

Returning fan-favorites Richie Lee & the Fabulous 50s will also perform September 9-11, bringing the roots of rock ‘n’ roll back to life. A crowd-pleaser in 2024, the band’s passion for the golden age of rock will have audiences singing, dancing, and reminiscing about the era.

The final stretch of the Fair features two unique acts from September 12-14. First, James Wedgwood, a master of ventriloquism, brings a cast of outrageous characters (and objects!) to life with his one-of-a-kind comedy show. Expect laughs, surprises, and plenty of audience participation.

Rounding out the entertainment is Cocktail Combo, a trio of musical mixologists who twist familiar songs into something entirely new, think Uptown Funk as a slow ballad or The Eagles with a reggae beat. With creativity, charm, and top-notch musicianship, Cocktail Combo promises a fresh take on the classics.

Each act will perform three times daily during their scheduled dates. Official showtimes will be available in the Clay County Fair Daily Guides, released later in August. For more information, visit www.claycountyfair.com.
