TYLER FARR

Recognized as “one of the best male vocalists in Country music today” (Taste of Country), Tyler Farr has made a significant impact on the genre with his powerful voice and authentic storytelling. Farr burst onto the country music scene with the release of his debut album, Redneck Crazy, which quickly climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200. His breakout single, the Platinum-selling title track “Redneck Crazy,” solidified his place in the industry, leading to a string of successes.

Tyler Farr has notched three No. 1 hits, including the emotionally charged “Whiskey in My Water” and the poignant “A Guy Walks Into a Bar.” His sophomore album, Suffer in Peace, continued his rise to stardom, debuting in the Top 5 on both the Billboard Top 200 Albums and Billboard Country Albums Charts. This achievement made him the only solo male country artist in the past decade to have his first two studio albums debut in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart.

Beyond his chart-topping hits, Farr is known for his deep connection to the military and his love for the outdoors. His dedication to his craft and his down-to-earth personality have earned him a devoted fanbase and prestigious touring opportunities alongside country heavyweights like Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Combs, Brantley Gilbert, and Lee Brice. With his opera-trained voice and no-nonsense approach to music, Tyler Farr continues to captivate audiences.

His recent collaborations and releases, including the true-blue country anthem “Country As Shit” featuring Jelly Roll, showcase his ability to stay true to his roots while evolving as an artist. As he continues to create music that resonates with fans, Tyler Farr remains a formidable force in country music. Look for New music coming this Fall 2024

Celebrating 175 Years

In January of 1851, farmers gathered together to form the Hillsdale County Agricultural Society and present the idea of their very first fair. Their goal was for farmers around the county to show what they had produced and how they did so. With that knowledge from each farmer, other farmers can share in that and improve upon their own farming techniques. So, the very first Hillsdale County Fair was held on October 15-16, 1851 on the Courthouse Square in Hillsdale. The entries included many kinds of animals, such as oxen, beef cattle, sheep, swine, horses and poultry, many different crops and articles of clothing, rugs, quilts and blankets.
The next year, farmers in the county were preparing for another fair, the entries had doubled and it was held in Jonesville. The location of the fair alternated between the villages of Jonesville and Hillsdale until 1860 when there was finally a permanent location for the fair.

New Hillsdale County Fair Manager

The Hillsdale County Fair has hired a new manager, Sabine Young.

(And for those who aren't quite sure how to pronounce her first name - it rhymes with Saline.)

HILLSDALE COUNTY FAIR MANAGER

Sabine Young

In her own words......

Hello! I am excited to be the new fair manager for the Hillsdale County Fair.

I have 20+ years working in the insurance and financial field. I am a co-owner of our family business that I also manage.

My husband Tom and I have been married for 31 years. We have 5 children and 3 grandchildren.

The fair is a huge part of my family. I have been involved in and attending the fair for over 30 years. One of my first jobs here at the fair was working as an usher in the grandstands along the side of my late mother in law Karen. We have shown ponies for all these years and my kids are very active with 4H and the FFA.

This coming fair year we are celebrating the 175th year! I am excited to be a part of such a huge milestone for the fair and looking forward to a great year!

Today (December 3, 2024) we are $1000 closer to our goal because of community generosity. A BIG THANK YOU to the Hillsdale Masonic Lodge for their donation to the Restroom Remodeling project! And thank you to board member Gilbert Emens for his tireless work on keeping the project moving forward. If you would like to donate to the project, contact the HCF office at 517-437-3622 or email: dena@hillsdalecountyfair.org
