The Deschutes County Fair is right around the corner. It runs August 3rd through the 5th this year. Marketing Director Ross Rogers says the Deschutes County Fair is a real boon for Central Oregon's economy. "We are the largest county fair in the state as I mentioned and the influx of millions upon millions of dollars that it has on our surrounding area; a lot of people don't know this [the impact is] about seven million and so that's a lot of money comin' to Central Oregon in just five days." Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will be at the Fair Saturday, August 5th. The concert is free with admission to the Fair. For prices and scheduling, just visit the Fairs website: http://www.expo.deschutes.org/
