A $20 donation will get you the t-shirt with proceeds going to our Veteran's program VetZero. On Wednesday, Tigman will be bringing the afternoon show to the fair live to welcome Cheap Trick to the Grandstand Stage.

Cheap Trick formed in Rockford, Illinois in 1973. They were very popular in the 1970s and 80s. Some of their hits include: "Surrender", "Dream Police", "I Want You to Want Me" and "The Flame". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. Their work bridged elements of '60s guitar pop, '70s hard rock, and the emerging punk rock sound, and would help set the template for subsequent power pop artists.

On Thursday, Tig will be back at the fair as WPDH Presents Get the Led Out on stage. Get The Led Out presents a 2 hour set of Led Zeppelin classics that spans the entire career of the legendary Led Zeppelin, with a strong focus on the early years and they touch on deep cuts that were seldom, if ever played in concert.

A description on the band's official website reads, "Get The Led Out is a group of professional musicians who are passionate about their love of the music of Led Zeppelin. It's been their goal to bring the studio recordings of 'the mighty Zep' to life on the big concert stage. This is not an impersonator act but rather a group of musicians who were fans first, striving to do justice to one of the greatest band's in rock history".
