The Bloomsburg Fair

 A crowd packed event will include bull riding, barrel racing, a rodeo clown and much more as the rodeo is coming back to the fair. Watch, as riders go up against a bull weighing more than a ton. These animals are quick for their size. The bull rider’s upper body strength and strong legs are essential to have a successful run.
Later that evening, barrel racing takes center stage. Just as timing is a major factor for bull riding, it is key in barrel racing adding to the excitement! This fast and furious event requires great horsemanship skills and the competitive drive to win. Each rider must race around the barrels without knocking them over. Victories can be won by just a hundredth of a second– making this an edge of your seat event. Bull Ride Mania, rodeo organizer, has been presenting this Western style entertainment to the East since 1969 as a family fun event.

The seven men comprising Styx--James “JY” Young (lead vocals, guitars), Tommy Shaw (lead vocals, guitars), Chuck Panozzo (bass, vocals), Todd Sucherman (drums, percussion), Lawrence Gowan (lead vocals, keyboards), CRASH OF THE CROWN producer and co-writer Will Evankovich (guitars), Terry Gowan (bass, vocals)--have committed to rocking the Paradise together with audiences far and wide by entering their second decade of averaging 100 shows a year, and each one of them is committed to making the next show better than the last. Styx draws from over five decades of barn-burning chart hits, joyous singalongs, and hard-driving deep cuts. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo, a Styx set covers a wide range of stylistic cornerstones. From the progressively sweeping splendor that is “The Grand Illusion” to the hunker-down fortitude of all that is the “Blue Collar Man,” from the regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of “Come Sail Away” to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged “Renegade” who had it made, the band draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signature sound.

After more than two decades together on the road, this incarnation of Styx is looking forward to performing as many shows as it can as long as it can. “Music is this amazing force that comes from a higher place. I'm humbled for this band to have the great success that it has,” says co-founding guitarist/vocalist James “JY” Young.
