State Theatre joins in the fun of the July 4 festival
Don't miss the fireworks on Sunday July 3, when Roseanne Cash comes to town
The 4th Fest held in Happy Valley every year is a nationally ranked event that grew out of the community's passion for our national heritage. From the very beginning, it has been a class act fueled by an army of volunteers and corporate sponsors. It's a focus of great pride that this region can put on such a great show.
This year, the State Theatre is happy to get the celebration started with the performance of Roseanne Cash on July 3.
Johnny's daughter has been touring the country playing songs from her new album, "The List." The list is one prepared by her father and includes the top 100 country tunes of all time. It has been her dream to play all 100 of them over the course of time.
National reviews of Roseanne's performance have brought her high praise.
We encourage you to get the fireworks inside at the State Theatre on Sunday night, and then head up to the 4th Fest on Monday evening..
Don't miss this great performance; get your tickets to see Roseanne Cash in concert today.

Menopause the Musical will make its return engagement to the State Theatre on August 16. The girls are as hot (speaking of temperature of course) as ever, so don't miss out!
Also, Steve Earle will return on August 22 along with the Dukes and Duchesses featuring Allison Moorer.

The State Theatre | Fun Facts | June is national fruit and vegetable month! Be sure to visit your local farmer's market for fresh fruit and vegetables, and enjoy these fun facts! Cucumbers, the paragon of coolness and a favorite salad vegetable, are one of the oldest cultivated vegetables, having been around since about 8000 BC. They were said to be a favorite of US Civil War General and President Ulysses Grant and Roman Emperor Tiberius.
British sailors used to be called "Limeys" because they ate citrus to prevent scurvy on long sea voyages. The Daikon radish can grow up to 3 feet long and weigh up to 100 pounds! Radishes are popular in Oaxaca, Mexico, on Christmas Eve, which is also known as the Night of the Radishes; Mexicans carve large ones into animals shapes, much like people carve pumpkins into faces on Halloween. Black raspberries are indigenous to North America-the cross between a blackberry and a raspberry dates back to 1893 in Geneva, New York. | | |
