The Great Geauga County Fair Band will perform at a free concert on Wednesday, June 3 at 7:00 p.m. at the Geauga County Board of Developmental Disabilities (GCBDD), known as the Metzenbaum Center. The concert is free, and all members of the community are invited to attend. “We are very pleased to be able to host this community concert,” said GCBDD Superintendent Don Rice. “It will be a night that is fun for the whole family and will allow our residents to enjoy an evening with the community. The Great Geauga County Fair Band always puts on an enjoyable show, and I am confident the night will be a success.”
The Great Geauga County Fair Band has performed in Geauga County since the 1936 County Fair, and it has played at every Geauga County Fair since 1938. It still boasts one of its original band members, Barbara Ricca of Newbury, who has played in the trumpet section for 77 years. “The Great Geauga County Fair Band is a large part of the community and an invaluable part of the fair,” Rice said. “It is wonderful that we can partner with the band in order to provide a night for the community to get together and enjoy.”
