Steele County Free Fair officials announced a couple of new attractions for the 2019 fair. The All-Star Stunt Dogs will perform three times daily during the fair. Country singer Chris Hawkey will appear in the grandstand Thursday, August 15.

The stunt dog show has appeared on The Tonight Show, Animal Planet and National Geographic in addition to performing at the Minnesota State Fair and Valleyfair. The dogs do a variety of flying and performance stunts. A deeper message of the presentation encourages pet adoption and spaying and neutering your pet.

All of the dogs in the show are adopted from shelters across the country. Click here to view their website.

Hawkey has been recording music since 2010 and has landed songs on the Billboard country chart. He also works in Twin Cities radio and produces the Minnesota Vikings Radio Network broadcasts. Learn more here about Hawkey. Tickets for his show in Owatonna will become available at a later date.
