Fans Have The Chance Meet Their Favorite Country Stars At The 2010 CMA Music Festival
The 2010 CMA Music Festival and Fan Fair® is a celebration of the bond between fans and the Country artists they admire. And nowhere is that relationship more evident than the enhanced Greased Lightning® Fan Fair Hall, where fans have a chance to meet their favorite artists.
“The fan and artist interactions in the Greased Lightning Fan Fair Hall are the heart of the CMA Music Festival experience,” said CMA Board Chairman Steve Moore. “This year we have invited new exhibitors, artists, technologies, and partners to help improve the experience for our attendees. And to top it off, we have a terrific list of artists eager to spend one-on-one time with their fans.”
Both Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts will make their return to the Greased Lightning Fan Fair Hall, where they will meet fans and sign autographs. McGraw’s last appearance in the Fan Fair Hall was in 2000, and Rascal Flatts last appeared in 2002.
The Greased Lightning Fan Fair Hall will undergo a makeover becoming an educational feast for the eyes. Photos and facts dating back nearly four decades will adorn the walls as well as the updated CMA Booth, which will host autograph signings for the first time.
The Judds will make an exclusive appearance in the CMA Booth, marking the first time the popular mother/daughter duo has signed autographs at the event since the 1990s when the event was held at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. Other artists signing in the CMA Booth include Laura Bell Bundy, Danny Gokey, Randy Houser, Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler, Darius Rucker, Josh Thompson, and Chuck Wicks.
Back by popular demand, CMA will make available individual tickets to the Fan Fair Hall on Saturday and Sunday, June 12-13, only. Entrance to the Fan Fair Hall will be exclusive to four-day ticket holders on Thursday and Friday, June 10-11.
