2015 ISF Concerts Made Money

Will you look at this?

The concerts at this year's Illinois State Fair actually turned a profit.

Sammy Hagar and Fall Out Boy were the big winners.

With another set of those stupid manufactured Disney kids being the huge losers.

And wow..... $327k to bring-in the Rascal Flatts show!  Pricey!!

Out for now.......
