and kind of gear the day more toward our senior multi-platinum pop artist Jason Derulo with special
guest Lizzo. After writing songs for artists like Lil
Wayne and Diddy, Derulo launched his career as a
solo artist in 2009, going to number 1 on Billboard’s
Hot 100 with his debut single “Watcha Say.” Derulo
has since released five albums, selling over 50 million
single releases including hits like “In My Head,”
“Wiggle,” “Talk Dirty,” and this spring’s “Want to Want
Me” off his new Everything Is 4 album.

“Jason is a very popular artist right now in the pop
charts,” notes Blum. “He has just had several new
songs released—something different for the area and
kind of what we were looking for. We have a lot of
entertainment in this area and decided to go a different

to the Fair, people that might not normally come. You
