The Elton John concert is rain or shine.<br /><br />But not even the prediction of rain can dampen the excitement surrounding Monday's concert for Elton John fans who have been waiting for 38 years for the the pop music star to play in Vermont. With the Vermont concert, Elton John can claim to have played at least once in every one of the 50 American states.<br /><br />"The weather forecast for Monday is less than encouraging as of Sunday evening," said Stephen Mease, communications director for the Expo. "It looks like there will be a strong possibility of rain and we want people to be prepared, especially if their seats are on the track or on the bleachers." About half the seats are under cover of the Grandstand, but even those are still open to the elements, he added. Ponchos and raingear are encouraged since umbrellas are prohibited from the concert venue.<br /><br />"Vermonters are a hardy audience and with a little planning, rain gear and the proper footwear, they'll be just fine at the concert, even if it rains," Mease said.<br /><br />A good example was Sunday's WOKO Country Club Music Festival, where thousands of country music fans enjoyed a full day of music despite the steady rain.<br /><br />More than 10,500 people from Vermont, across New England and beyond are expected for Elton John’s 2008 “Rocket Man – Number Ones” tour, presented by Live Nation.<br /><br />According to Tom Oddy, the Expo’s director of special events, the Exposition grounds will open for parking at 5 p.m. on Monday using the main entrance Gate B off Route 15 (Pearl Street) and Gate E off Route 2A. “Everyone entering the Exposition grounds will be required to have a ticket to the concert. It’s also important to note that due to the size of the expected crowd no tailgate picnics, coolers, bottles or cans are allowed,” Oddy said. Depending on the weather conditions, indoor space in Expo North will be available prior to the concert doors opening at 6:30 p.m. All seats are reserved in the Coca-Cola Grandstand and the show is sold out.<br /><br />“We are encouraging folks to come early to avoid possible traffic delays due to regional road construction projects. We will have a variety of food vendors, the Halvorsen’s Beer and Wine Garden and other concessions available for an early dinner,” he noted. The Coca-Cola Grandstand gates will open at approximately 6:30 p.m. for the 8 p.m. concert. No cameras, video or audio recording devices are allowed inside the concert.<br /><br /> Elton John and his band, including members Davey Johnstone on guitar, Guy Babylon on keyboards, Bob Birch on bass, John Mahon on percussion and Nigel Olsson on drums will play his greatest hits and more recent songs from his latest release, "Rocket Man • Number Ones." Elton John has sold more than 200 million records and continues to add innovative work to his personal repertoire of 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, 35 gold and 25 platinum albums.<br /> For updates on the concert and other events at the Exposition, visit <a title="http://www.cvexpo.org/" href="http://www.cvexpo.org/">www.cvexpo.org</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702334619643781224.post-5830791785124991972008-07-20T17:57:00.000-04:002008-07-20T17:57:47.357-04:00Wet and Wild Sunday at WOKO FestivalSlippin' and slidin' in the midway mud.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPSccOG9tK2s8iJYhnv8-jYr1odGfaVZIMRQXlNnr3TCq59kZzL5bgTz3oi_ccmCSv2oAryirwrZElzApRwU_49hpqwDyXU6cfc6h5AFZrl4vmFwbfq1VraEXAxSMJxWMbYnyZ-5lzU97/s1600-h/IMGP4845.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijPSccOG9tK2s8iJYhnv8-jYr1odGfaVZIMRQXlNnr3TCq59kZzL5bgTz3oi_ccmCSv2oAryirwrZElzApRwU_49hpqwDyXU6cfc6h5AFZrl4vmFwbfq1VraEXAxSMJxWMbYnyZ-5lzU97/s400/IMGP4845.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Jason Aldean and his band headlined the show<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAEyIlRDgtJWTZhD1FD1uvUpA17TolilPHvIR0S2CmEotnpu4upoEaOIpRQ4KLs2XV2dr6yNvjugvh0YfrxA3fUAYZ_xZqJQPXkoHUjkUHYXJ68VDR41oWD1fsKuzs3qFxMHpUxYPmM0d/s1600-h/IMGP4855.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAEyIlRDgtJWTZhD1FD1uvUpA17TolilPHvIR0S2CmEotnpu4upoEaOIpRQ4KLs2XV2dr6yNvjugvh0YfrxA3fUAYZ_xZqJQPXkoHUjkUHYXJ68VDR41oWD1fsKuzs3qFxMHpUxYPmM0d/s400/IMGP4855.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />A colorful midway of ponchos, umbrellas and cowboy hats<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_i0jDSDAWKCxDNply-Jgqy_M50hLdLao9AriHnA6HRhRx3ABAeiaOiIxu9I_GgTKWCL4-lHlBgNoNMvnaTWOrM2AIk3WUYtwHLnXYIbOvM6gvREgsKeeuMGaIqo62y5paGd2DW2Ooxcbn/s1600-h/IMGP4818.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_i0jDSDAWKCxDNply-Jgqy_M50hLdLao9AriHnA6HRhRx3ABAeiaOiIxu9I_GgTKWCL4-lHlBgNoNMvnaTWOrM2AIk3WUYtwHLnXYIbOvM6gvREgsKeeuMGaIqo62y5paGd2DW2Ooxcbn/s400/IMGP4818.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Diehard fans of all ages enjoyed the WOKO Country Music Festival on Sunday at Champlain Valley Expo.<br />more pictures at <a href="http://www.cvexpo.org/">www.cvexpo.org</a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMWhdMmmShquQtyyJ6j-wnEfdJ07fpo44TkUrzEwHDlXNKSTMy-3wBihaDujbnXGVZnOQCTgKMHJFJSe7bx8gT_JHcHrprEePb_NWPoYFtdIROqm9IDus2ISzCkj1KZuTet0dd1VNAXFW/s1600-h/IMGP4860.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHMWhdMmmShquQtyyJ6j-wnEfdJ07fpo44TkUrzEwHDlXNKSTMy-3wBihaDujbnXGVZnOQCTgKMHJFJSe7bx8gT_JHcHrprEePb_NWPoYFtdIROqm9IDus2ISzCkj1KZuTet0dd1VNAXFW/s400/IMGP4860.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br />(Photos by Stephen Mease)<div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702334619643781224.post-24805696972915495422008-07-11T16:21:00.001-04:002008-07-11T16:28:13.834-04:00Getting Ready for Elton John<strong>Champlain Valley Exposition Spruces up Grandstand</strong><br /><strong>For Summer’s Big Concerts with Elton John and the Fair<br /><br /></strong>ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt. – Preparations are underway at Champlain Valley Exposition for the biggest outdoor concert of the summer – the first-ever Vermont performance by rock legend Elton John on Monday, July 21.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9avpEqVLec_JLObB3dDuYF8qvI8-iClaxCUhlJvesCgCn1nhll647dVRyxnKBzE43Y8MsqdqbW2VY-6IhzZWjeQ4tr-95kCp0oSWcBYqQWVb5ZE6nIaPhHIY-G6jul9Q4Syo2uKgWdGCX/s1600-h/IMGP4425.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9avpEqVLec_JLObB3dDuYF8qvI8-iClaxCUhlJvesCgCn1nhll647dVRyxnKBzE43Y8MsqdqbW2VY-6IhzZWjeQ4tr-95kCp0oSWcBYqQWVb5ZE6nIaPhHIY-G6jul9Q4Syo2uKgWdGCX/s400/IMGP4425.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Tickets for the concert at the 10,000-seat Coca-Cola Grandstand sold at a “rocket-powered” pace when they went on sale in early May.<br />Now, with about a week to go, work crews are busy putting a fresh coat of green paint on the grandstand seats. And once that is done, another painting crew will come through and re-number the 3,000-plus seats, according to the Expo’s General Manager David F. Grimm. It will take more than 100 gallons of paint for the grandstand benches, not to mention the aisles and box seat area. The Grandstand’s perimeter fences are also getting a facelift, weeds are being pulled and signs are being painted.<br />“We want to put on the best face possible for this once-in-a-lifetime show that marks a major milestone in Elton John’s career – playing in all 50 states,” Grimm said.<br /> “It will also benefit all our events, including the 10 days of concerts and motor sports during the Champlain Valley Fair that begins next month on Aug. 23,” he noted. Among the 2008 Bud Light Music Series concerts at the Fair: Garrison Keillor and A Prairie Home Companion on Aug. 23, country star Toby Keith (Aug. 30), pop sensations The Jonas Brothers (Aug. 31) and Danity Kane (Aug. 25), and rockers Daughtry (Aug. 24) and Ted Nugent (Aug. 29).

His wife, Dorothy looks on as Gov. Douglas tries out the remote control for the carnival train layout owned by Lewis Buchspics of Essex Junction. The one-day annual show drew hundreds of model train enthusiasts to see the working train layouts, buy and sell new and used model train cars, engins and equipment.

The international flavor was supplemented by the location - The Paris Hotel on the Strip. Having the Eiffel Tower (or at least a smaller version of it) helped to set the mood.<br />Lots of great seminars, networking with other fair personnel and some new ideas that we hope to bring to the Champlain Valley Fair in 2008. One of the best workshops was on how to better use blogs, social media and websites. I need to digest and study up on a few of the ideas before I put them out on the web.<br /><br />I'll post some photos and maybe a short video or two of the trade show in the coming days.<br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Steve Mease, Communications Director</span></em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702334619643781224.post-70518926470574434492007-11-04T22:32:00.000-05:002007-11-30T00:16:31.804-05:00Alpaca fun<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNKpVWFu63xXR6ATNGHV1D_4lbvCA_ydiY77bAKObsQ3D8QQpPuGaT4irkEr5LqwpSB7eHsJ7HYjCbJkfFSLWUPA_yD2bWXNQkGtDHur90pvf_qaXIaiUGV2fLcNKV0_XsUM29EjN3cVFb/s1600-h/IMGP1204.JPG"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEdC-gaeBfT0TQITI7WjYVYRC-EMjdfGpy5RWlw7ZtoV6T6LM26FzjfxAAtWhQ4eLUiHz2Y1CFeH8CidAv4EiLBBkrRMReYBF3fuEXV06i81Lb7zBh3kbRYJFNzggFPUqmT7WPP0CHP-fl/s1600-h/IMGP1268.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEdC-gaeBfT0TQITI7WjYVYRC-EMjdfGpy5RWlw7ZtoV6T6LM26FzjfxAAtWhQ4eLUiHz2Y1CFeH8CidAv4EiLBBkrRMReYBF3fuEXV06i81Lb7zBh3kbRYJFNzggFPUqmT7WPP0CHP-fl/s320/IMGP1268.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmuk65gGEZQ_rRzrP4wgKuul470XH22-myHWJYDmtU68bL9-BKH-DBZ4f1A5lRAedd_2s-VXCfC9dMQZFOZG3FPYvDj9O6BC5VhoPfyol7TmFT0AYi9caHZL9RGTfwdGnkF4DzCTmMrz0/s1600-h/IMGP1272.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmuk65gGEZQ_rRzrP4wgKuul470XH22-myHWJYDmtU68bL9-BKH-DBZ4f1A5lRAedd_2s-VXCfC9dMQZFOZG3FPYvDj9O6BC5VhoPfyol7TmFT0AYi9caHZL9RGTfwdGnkF4DzCTmMrz0/s320/IMGP1272.JPG" border="0" /></a> <div style="CLEAR: both"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px;
