 | And here he is..... |
 | Con loves performing
at the Fair.
He gets to see
lots of his hometown friends and fans,

on harmonica;
Ken Jackson on sax; Burton Akers on bass; Tony Creasman on drums; Junior Mercer on steel; and Greg English on guitar. |

 | And Cindi from WTNQ showed some love by joining in on all the fun! |
 | Con demonstrated his "proud Daddy" side when he introduced his daughter, Brittany, who made it to town just in time for the show! |
