GRAMMY NOMINATED - Trout Fishing In America
Saturday, Oct. 3rd
Showtimes: TBD

Trout Fishing in America is the long-standing musical partnership of Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet. The name taken from a Richard Brautigan novel, seems almost as incongruent and intriguing as a picture of this musical duo - Ezra Idlet (guitar) stands six feet nine inches and Keith Grimwood (bass), five feet five and one half inches. What is more intriguing is the musical career these two have carved out in three decades of writing, recording and performing together.

Shaw Mid-States presents the 1ST Annual MusicFest Gumbo Cook-off
Saturday, Oct. 3rd | 4:30pm

Is your company or organization interested in an event that could provide some community visibility while giving your employees or members something fun to do away from the office, and supporting a good cause?

Then the MusicFest Gumbo Cook-off is for YOU!!

SpongeBob Squarepants
Saturday, Oct. 3rd | TBD

Don't miss your chance to meet SpongeBob Squarepants in person. SpongeBob is a sea sponge who lives with his pet snail, Gary, in a fully furnished, two bedroom...pineapple, and has an unusual love for his job as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob is as optimistic, earnest, and well-meaning as a sea-dwelling sponge gets, but despite his best intentions, he can't seem to avoid creating problems for himself--and usually everyone else around him, too. Bring the kids and get their pictures taken with everyone's favorite Sea Sponge!

Farrah Fitzhugh
As featured on Radio Disney!
Saturday, Oct. 3rd | TBD

MusicFest El Dorado is proud to present Farrah Fitzhugh! Farrah has performed in many production numbers, plays, musicals as well as talent shows and has also performed at fairs singing and dancing. There is no doubt that Farrah belongs on the stage.

MAGICIAN/MENTALIST Michael Wilkinson
Saturday, Oct. 3rd | TBD

Michael Wilkinson is a performer of both Illusions and Mentalism. Mentalism is a
special kind of illusion in which the performer appears to have psychic
or mind control abilities. Michael does not claim to have any
supernatural abilities. Everything he does is purely for entertainment.
His art is designed to make you leave the show convinced that
something impossible occurred.
