IDAHO FALLS — Sheryl Crow, Third Eye Blind and comedian ventriloquist Jeff Dunham will highlight this year’s Eastern Idaho State Fair.
After having to mostly cancel last year’s annual event, the fair’s general manager Brandon Bird is excited to bounce back with a stacked entertainment lineup.
“We are excited, it’s something for everybody,” Bird said. “We’re disappointed that we didn’t find the right country act this year but who can complain about the acts that we have.”
Third Eye Blind, Bird said, was a big get, seeing as they have a massive following within a specific group that is often underserved in east Idaho. And Jeff Dunham, one of the highest-selling comedians in the country, “brings down the house” at every one of his shows.
Sheryl Crow, who will take the main stage on opening night — Sept. 3 — is also expected to wow audiences.
“She’s been doing this for such a long time,” he said. “You can sing every song that she’s ever done. She’s a great artist.”

The theme of this year’s fair — “Eat It Up” — is as much about eating up the entertainment, which will also include a monster truck rally and demolition derby, as it is about the food.
“(Food) drives almost everything (at the fair),” he said. “Even with our livestock shows, people go see the livestock show, and then they go get food. It’s all about the food, and the food makes it a special place.”
The fair is also a place for Idahoans to eat up the company of friends and family, Bird added.
“The fair is the largest and longest-running community event (in eastern Idaho),” he said. “It’s a giant family reunion, you get together with your friends, and yeah you have a great time, but it’s all centered around family and friends.”
