Easton Corbin Added to SD State Fair Line-Up
HURON, S.D.– The South Dakota State Fair and Legend Seeds welcome Easton Corbin to the SD State Fair Grandstand on Friday, Sept.1. Corbin will be the opening act for Big & Rich with Cowboy Troy.

He’s known for his traditional country sound, authentic lyrics and will definitely set a good tone for Friday night’s show. We’re excited to be hosting him along with Big & Rich and Cowboy Troy.”
