Over his 9+ decades Armond Rezac entertained countless fans of 'old time' & Big Band music between his years as a performer at the Steele County Fair & host of a radio show.

Rezac passed away on Wednesday.

Armond had an amazing run with the Steele County Fair, performing for over 50 consecutive years!

"Armond thrilled us with his musical talents at the Steele County Free Fair for over FIFTY YEARS and he will truly be missed by the fair family."

 

-Jim Gleason, Steele County Free Fair manager/secretary

Rezac co-hosted the KRFO "Big Band Show" for nearly twenty years with Jerry Peters. Rezac had to step aside in recent months due to failing health. In 2013, Peters and Rezac hosted a 'live' recording of the "Big Band Show" on the KRFO stage at the fair.

The staff of KRFO Radio / Townsquare Media wishes Armond's family well during this difficult time.

Armond and Jerry appeared on the "Owatonna Today" show in January of 2013, discussing the "Big Band Show."
