REALLY disappointed won't be seeing Kid Rock at ND State Fair. Had tickets for 3 generations of my family, (Big Fans). Hope sometime he can get to ND for a concert. Feel for the people in Minot with all the flood damage.

I am sooo sad that I won't get the chance to see you this summer. I got to see you in Tempe a couple of years ago & had the best time ever! Would you & Sheryl consider doing a benefit concert to help all the flood vicitms in Minot & the rest of our state?

Can you please notify Artist Arena that it's canceled so they start the refund process. Hope to see him next time. Maybe have to save up for that cruise-that would be so much fun.

What a way to ruin a Sunday. This past Sunday the ND State Fair board had to announce that they had no choice but to cancel the fair this year. So many people had been waiting to see Kid Rock since the news that he would be there this year leaked out back in February/March. The great people of Minot have really given it their all but in the end mother nature has just proved to be too big of a force. So many areas in ND are still fighting record levels of rivers and will have to continue to fight flooding for months. Our thoughts are with the people of Minot and all over hte state that have lost their homes. However the people of ND are strong and we will rebound and win in the end. When we do I just hope that Kid Rock will come to help us celebrate! Thanks Michigan - we continue to think of all of the people on the Missouri river down stream from us that are suffering also.

Sorry to hear that. Seems like the whole country has had devastating weather this year. But not to worry, I am sure Kid Rock will make it up to all of you who have missed him this time around. Hope things are getting back to normal there and know that Michigan cares!

Minot has suffered a devastating 500 year flood. FEMA says it hasn't seen anything like it since Katrina. The city tried desperately to rally and be ready for the state fair - but Mother Nature decided to add additional rain to the existing misery and the whole fair was canceled. IT IS MY HOPE THAT KID & SHERYL are able to see some of the devastation and help bring attention to their plight. Over 12,000 people are displaced and many will lose their homes.

Kid! This is your chance! Take sheryl by the hand and visit the german military base in grafenwöhr, where thousands of soldiers are waiting for you. They just returned from afghanistan and having a big fair here. You´ll never forget this party!

My wife & I had tickets for Kid Rock in Minot July 23rd, we're now looking to another city to see him before his Born Free Tour ends. It's a bummer the Fair got cancelled, but totally understand. Hopefully Kid can make it to North Dakota soon, North Dakota is a Kid Rock type of state.

The entire ND State Fair was cancelled, not just the Kid Rock concert. As a HUGE fan of Kid, (my friends even decorated a Kid Rock birthday cake last weekend for me) I purchased tickets for this concert at the fair the moment they went on sale. I completely understand why they had to cancel and I pray for all the flood victims. It is a horrible situation. I only hope one day Kid will come back to ND and that I will be able to see him in concert soon!!

The State Fair people told me that those of us who bought presale thru the fan club have to get our refunds from Artist Arena, so waiting for them.
