The Bud Stage definitely kept the music going through the day and into the night at the 2013 Missouri State Fair. We had a chance to go there each day and check out all the shows.
Whenever I see a lesser known act performing at a small venue, it's pretty rare that I think "This artist is going to be huge someday," but I was definitely thinking that after seeing Rachel Farley perform four shows in two days at the Missouri State Fair's Bud Tent.
It is not very often lately that a band returns to play the Missouri State Fair's Bud Tent two years in a row, but that is exactly what has happened this year with Native Run. Last year they were just getting their roots in Nashville, and now they are close to signing a record deal and putting out a new CD.
