Topic Grandstand Concerts & Music Shows
Blink and you might miss tiny Leroy, Alabama, but if your ears are open, you just might hear it.

The pure, clear, country voice of Ashton Shepherd lilts through the evening air in Leroy from a place called The Pickin' Shed. It's a cabin behind her house situated on seven acres of cropland. After the day's chores are over, she and her husband and her brother-in-law break out their guitars and fill the Shed with songs.

Click for Trent Tomlinson concert pictures
Not Just Country - This Boy Plays It All!

Trent Tomlinson came on the stage Friday night and was probably the most action packed person on the entire fairgrounds. He kept revving up the crowd with his high energy music and his on stage antics. At one point he grabbed a flashlight, a wireless mic and took the music into the grandstand seats. Energetic may describe his show, but eclectic world describe his music. He played not only his own music but a song from the Counting Crows, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and even a Prince number for his encore!

Click to see the Queen Pageant pictures! The grandstand saw another good sized crowd out to brave the heat and see the Jr. Miss and the Effingham County Fair Queen Pageant. The James Bond 007 theme for the pageant brought the queen contestants to the stage on sports cars and sporting red and gold leather mini skirts. A dance number from the contestants and a musical number from the emcee Greg Sapp added to the Jr. Miss contest. The pageant ended with the farewell to 2006 Queen Danielle Phillips and the crowning of the 2007 Queen Lauren Hoffman.

Click to see the Parade Pictures The grandstand filled Sunday for the 8 races in the opening of horse racing at the Effingham County Fair. Exciting races with a few close finishes, one that had to go to a "photo finish" kept the crowd on edge.

Miles and miles of entries in the Effingham County Fair Parade went in past the grandstand Sunday Evening. Everything from potential 2007 fair queens to horses and antique machines were on display.

The Talent Show kicked off around 7pm and had 24 acts. The show started with a fantastic vocal performance from the Emcee, Greg Sapp as he sang the national anthem. The entertainment ranged from dance to country music and even some "classic" rock and roll with a Beatles tune.
