The Delaware State Fair will be featuring New Kids On The Block and Bryan Adams for the event slated July 23rd through August 1st.

In addition the contemporary Christian group Casting Crowns as well as singer Josh Turner and the group Little Big Town will also be on stage this year.

Other events include Manlove Auto Parts' Demolition Derby and the volunteer Firefighter’s Pro Rodeo Roundup.

In 2014 an estimated 282-thousand people attended the fair.

That was up by 25 percent over the previous year which saw a decline to 228-thousand.

Much of that was blamed on excessive heat during the first half of the ten day fair.
