RMA Celebrates 20 Years at Manatee County Fair

The Manatee County Fair was held January 1222, 2023 and it was a very special time as RMA Presents, Inc. celebrated our 20th consecutive year of booking national entertainment for the fair. Through the years, we've enjoyed award winning and some of the best in country, contemporary Christian and bluegrass music. John Anderson, Ricky Skaggs, The Bellamy Brothers, Don Williams, Marty Stuart, Rhonda Vincent, For King and Country, Cain, Building 429 and the list goes on. We will always remember having to raise the sides on the tent for Jake Owen in 2010 and The Band Perry in 2011 to accommodate the crowd since seating inside was full. The 2020 Veterans’ Day program at the fair was very special with Darryl Worley and Jessica Lynch. And this year's lineup continued to add to the history as pictured.

FFF Executive Director Dan West and his wife Tracy with Dailey & Vincent. As former fair manager, Dan had always requested them but routing would never work out. Finally, this year it did and Dan got to meet them.
