ITLM OTRS Presents: Summer Fun While Enjoying The Mission Temple Fireworks and Sawyer Brown At The Porter County Fair In Indiana

By Angela Urban

When it is a beautiful summer night in Indiana, what better place to go than a Fair. This fair is easy to navigate, has wonderful choices for food, and entertainment, even shopping if you are inclined. Plenty of parking and shuttle to and from your vehicles.

How often do you get to experience the Star Spangled Banner played on the Saxophone? The Porter County fair started off with a bang, Sawyer Brown style.

Sawyer Brown opened the fair on the first night by featuring their new documentary “Get Me to the Stage on Time”. This documentary will be shown via Amazon Prime in September, but the crowd got a sneak peek, featuring Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley and Dolly Parton.

Sawyer Brown has been performed for 40 years and still going strong, since winning the show “Star Search” hosted by Ed McMahon. This was the before the “American Idol” show stole the spotlight for showcasing upcoming talent. When lead singer Mark Miller sang “Going back to Indiana, Indiana here I come.” The crown went wild!

This shows was part of a 100 city tour to celebrate those 40 years of Road Doggin’. The final date on the tour will be the 6000th show at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on October 1, 2024, which will feature Dierks Bentley’s Hot County Knights band.

The show featured 2 songs from the new album Desperado Troubadours that was released in March of 2024. The title track and the super fast paced song “ Under this ole hat”.

There were stories from Mark Miller’s book, The Boys and me: My life in the Country Music Supergroup Sawyer Brown, which was released in February 2024.

The show featured tributes to their friends, John Anderson, Kenny Rogers, Toby Keith and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

There was even an auction of two Sawyer Brown signed guitars, the final bid was $3500.00 each, the proceeds were donated the food bank.

The evening finale was a firework show. As we were walking the fairgrounds, one fairgoer said “These are better than the 4th of July fireworks”. My suggestion is to visit this fair. It runs daily through July 27.
