Jimmy Dean was the headliner at the Lorain County Fair back on Saturday, August 23, 1969. Here’s the write up in the Lorain Journal the next day.
The article notes that the singer was branching out into other areas of entertainment, with upcoming acting appearances on the Daniel Boone television show.
Strangely, the article does not mention that Jimmy Dean had just launched his sausage company in May of 1969 – and thus missed an opportunity for the headline to read "Jimmy Dean Packs Them in Like Sausages at the Lorain County Fair Grandstand."
Anyway, let’s pretend we were in the Lorain County Fair Grandstand back then on Saturday night, and listen to Jimmy Dean’s first Number One Hit: Big Bad John (1961).
