MONTROSE, Colo. — The Olathe Sweet Corn Festival has announced that country music singer Craig Campbell will headline this summer's festival.
Campbell will perform at the Montrose County Event Center on Saturday, Aug. 3.
“It’s definitely an exciting time,” says Campbell in a statement. “For the past few years, I’ve created and found some of the best music in my career.”
Campbell's latest album was released in June 2018 with the hit singles “See You Try” and “Outskirts of Heaven.” The musician has drawn comparisons to genre icons Alan Jackson and Randy Travis.
“The festival committee is excited to bring another high-caliber entertainer to our 28th annual event,” said festival coordinator Kyle Martinez in a statement.
After 27 years at different locations in Olathe, the Olathe Sweet Corn Festival's committee voted to move the event 11 miles south to the new event center in Montrose for 2019.
“It was a difficult decision that the committee wrestled with for quite some time, but ultimately the committee voted to do what was best for the festival to keep it going,” said Martinez. “The festival will continue to celebrate the area’s strong agriculture heritage, local non-profits, and donate funds to where they are needed most.”
“It should be an exciting festival celebrating our strong agriculture heritage, local non-profits, and all the Olathe Sweet Sweet Corn you can eat!” adds Martinez.
