America's birthday is always a special occasion but when you include the fun of a county fair and two country music stars, it goes from special to exceptional!

Such was the case, Wednesday at the Warren County Fair as Todd Fritsch and Aaron Tippin took the main stage.  A large crowd braved the heat and humidity and they were not disappointed. 

Fritsch came out and immediately took control of the audience with some great Texas swing.  During his 45 minute set, the young Texas cowboy showed the audience why he is being referred to by many as the next George Strait.

Then it was country superstar Aaron Tippin's turn to entertain and entertain he did.  Tippin presented one of the most high energy shows ever seen at the fair, mixing great music, comedy and poignancy. 

The highlight of the show came when Tippin assembled a bicycle on stage while singing his song "Working Man's PHD".  He then called Kaspar Broadcasting's Mike Thomas on-stage along with Pfc. Joshua Krijche of O'Falllon of the U.S. Marine Corps, and presented the bike to the Marines' Toys For Tots program.  Pfc. Krijche, who later told WestplexToday.com that he will be shipping out for Iraq in two weeks, received a standing ovation from the crowd.

The evening was capped off with a fantastic fireworks display to commemorate America's 231st Birthday!
