JOHN DAY — Wynonna Judd won’t be playing the Grant County Fair after all.

The country music superstar had been scheduled to headline a double bill with Eddie Gentry of Montgomery Gentry at the fair on Aug. 12 but decided to cancel the date after her mother, Naomi Judd, died on April 30.

“We are putting out offers for another headliner,” said Mindy Winegar, manager of the Grant County Fairgrounds. “We are working with an agency to find another outstanding performer to join Eddie Gentry.”

In a statement released by the Grant County Fairgrounds, Wynonna Judd apologized to her fans for canceling the local appearance:

“To the fans attending the Grant County Fair Concert on August 12: I am writing to you to share that I am so sad to withdraw from the fair. I am taking the time I need to process the recent loss of my mother. I appreciate your outpouring of love and support, and we WILL celebrate the music again soon. I promise.”

Winegar said she hoped to be able to announce a new headliner by Wednesday, June 1. People who have already purchased tickets can hold onto them and use them to get into the Aug. 12 concert or can turn them in for a refund after June 1.
