The Central Wisconsin State Fair will be implementing a clear bag policy for all grandstand events to ensure the safety of our fairgoers, performers, and staff.

This decision was made after careful discussions with our entertainment agency, their stage manager, representatives from national touring acts, and members of both the Wood County and Marshfield security teams. The Central WI State Fair Board believes this is the best step forward to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

All bags will be checked at the grandstand entrances. We encourage guests to plan ahead. Our staff will do their best to make the process smooth and get you into the event quickly.

Clear bags are available for purchase in the fair office now and throughout the fair for $10 each.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to seeing you at the Fair!

Chris Young–I Didn’t Come Here to Leave

Nearing 20 years in the country music spotlight, Chris Young has grown into the definition of along-haul superstarbut the road remains open ahead. One of Billboard’s top country artists of the decade, the prolific hitmaker boasts 14 No. 1 singles and 9 Billion+ streams; an unbroken streak of success built on songs that balance country roots with a modern edgeand connect through real feeling. A member of the historic Grand Ole Opry, global arena headliner, and creative force of nature, the CMT Award winner and ACM, AMA, CMA, and GRAMMY nominee has written and co-produced much of the work behind his 54 RIAA certifications, boasting a career that bridges multiple phases of country expression. But in joining Black River Entertainment as his new label home, the seasoned entertainer, named “one of his era’s finest traditionalists” by the Associated Press, feels refreshed, bringing his much-loved style into the future. His bold tenth albumI Didn't Come Here to Leavekicks off the Tennessee native’s next act. The record’s 14fresh songs,including11co-writes, mark the start of a new chapter as Young hits a new stride. Re-centering his foundation of timeless romance, while embracing the energy of his legendary live shows (and bringing his deep vocal rumble “back to my baritone roots”), the set represents the most complete cross-section of his creative visionmaybe everand the highest level of craftsmanship in Young’s remarkable career. Also co-producing alongside Andy Sheridan, the star’s keen country instincts take center stage as he ticks off multiple bucket-list boxes. Passionate attention to detail was poured over every syllable of every lyric, and with the old-school recording dynamic found only in a live studio band, the vivid result acts like Young’s career itselfa connecting point between the glory days of country’s past, and the exhilarating ecstasy of anew dawn. “It’s wild to step back and see a really long list of things I’ve gotten to do already. ... But I didn’t come here to leave.”
