JERRY FRASIER

Jerry started performing at a young age in Duluth, Minnesota. He designed, built and produced his first large-scale illusion show at 16 and has been entertaining audiences all over America ever since.

If you ask him, he would say that he’s doing what he was meant to do, both practically and creatively, from the beginning: bringing out the best in people – whether that is his wife and three children, or his family and friends, or an audience of 500! My show is fast and fun, but it’s only purposeful and entertaining to the degree that it connects with people in a real way and makes a lasting memory, he says.

Inspired by the energy of Broadway in the early 1980’s, Jerry honed his performance skills and interactive style on the east coast and turned full-time as a comedian/magician in 1989. His study of theatrical stage movement, commedia dell’™arte, improvisation and acting at Hofstra University in New York, combined with a B.A. in English and Communications from Ursinus College, a prestigious liberal arts school in Philadelphia, establishes Jerry as an actor, director and teacher.

After college, and before hitting the road professionally, he was fortunate enough to get a job as a high school English and Drama teacher where he could create lessons, almost like constructing routines, as well as direct numerous plays throughout the year. Jerry acknowledges the fine training the classroom was for him, “I believe all good teachers are good entertainers, being dedicated and passionate communicators on multiple levels.” To keep fresh and current, he continues to teach comprehensive magic, public speaking and theater workshops.

In addition to performing in his one-man show, Jerry writes and does graphic design, and video production. He is working on a new project that teaches a methodology of incorporating visual media in presentations and group communication.

Cedar County Queen Contest

Wednesday, July 13, 2016Do you live in Cedar County or attend school in Cedar County? If so,

you are encouraged to contact members of the Cedar County Fair Queen committee at 319-530-0273 or 507-440-1543 for more information about being a candidate for the fair queen. Entry forms and additional information is also available on the Cedar County fair website: thecedarcountyfair.com.

The candidates for the fair queen will be presented on Wednesday night with the crowing of the Cedar County Fair Queen taking place on Saturday night of the fair, in front of the grandstand. The Queen will then reign for the remainder of 2016 and through the year until the new queen is announced at the 2017 fair.

The Cedar County Fair Queen will represent the Cedar County Fair at the Iowa State Fair Queen competition where there are many opportunities to meet girls from all over the state and enjoy many activities in addition to the Iowa State Fair activities.

She will be on the grounds Wednesday, July 13 through

Saturday, July 16.

Silly Padilly has been clowning around the Cedar Valley for over a dozen years. Face painting is her favorite activity but also does balloon animals and a magic show. When Silly Padilly is not clowning, she is teaching full time art, waitresses at a popular pizza joint and takes graduate classes at the University of Iowa.

liva, blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing.

N. I agree to conduct myself in an honest, ethical, and upstanding manner and I understand that disciplinary actions will result if these rules are violated. I understand that I am expected to represent the program in a positive man-ner. I have read, understand and agree to follow this Code of Ethics, and any other rules of competition of the fair or exhibition as printed in its Premium Book and other exhibitor material.

12. Any attempt to misrepresent an animal in any way will be considered fraud and deception, and can result in disqualification and barring from this fair or exhibition. In addition, any exhibiting family whose animals are found suspect of using illegal drugs or barring for any other reason at any fair or livestock show holding member-ship in the International Association of Fairs and exposition will be barred indefi-nitely from showing at the Cedar County fair.

perintendents be discovered after the animal or animals have been shown and prior to the sale: such animal shall not be permitted to sell. If the grand Champion is disqualified, at the discretion of the fair show superintendents, the reserve Grand Champion will become the grand Champion. No other animals will be advanced.
