Streetside is a vocal group that primarily performs doo-wop music from the 50’s & 60’s, and has expanded its repertoire over the years to include Country, Gospel and more modern pop songs. Originally an acapella quintet in high school, the current four members (together since 1988) perform a 50/50 mix of both acapella and keyboard-accompanied songs. Streetside performs over 50 shows a year, including private conventions, public concerts, county and state fairs and local festivals throughout Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Colorado. Streetside has produced six albums.
“One of the most popular groups that regularly appears on the Plaza in the summer, as part of the Plaza Live music series.” Dick Wilson, KC #1 Radio Personality

Mud Racing will be back as part of the 2010 fair. The Russell County Free Fair will host the Kansas Mud Racing Organization event on Saturday, July 31. This is the same organization that brought mud slinging excitement to Russell County last year. This year is slated to bring more nitrous oxide pumping super-modified and racing fuel burning modified trucks to the fair. We also expect to have many local stock trucks testing their equipment against the Russell County mud.
