WHAT DID YOU MISS?

Brett Dennen


The 2009 Kickapoo Country Fair will be about hope, and a celebration of the simple things that make for a life rich in beauty, culture and connections, whether to the land, our past or the surrounding community.


With these commitments in mind, we have chosen Brett Dennen as our headlining musical act. Brett is a singer songwriter, as well as an advocate for peace, love, and the environment.

Brett's 3rd album, Hope for the Hopeless was released on 10/21/08 and Rolling Stone Magazine recently listed him on their Artist to Watch feature...



ANNOUNCEMENT: Back by popular demand...
NANDA! returns to the 2009 Kickapoo Country Fair!

If you missed these four "acrobaticalists" in 2008, you MUST check them out.
NANDA is Chen Pollina, Kiyota Sage, Misha Fradin, & Tomoki Sage.

They juggle, they dance, they fight, they are musicians, comedians and acrobats. They are scientists experimenting with the art of performance and living on the edge where new ideas are born. The Nandinian philosophy is simple. Acrobaticalism. While living by this philosophy no matter what you do its an exciting & entertaining combination of spectacularness & excellence.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in natural and organic food, farming, sustainability workshops, green housing & renewable energy, eco-development, rural heritage exhibits, live music, dancing & art!
