Over 40 years ago，a country music DJ convention (大会) was held every year in Nashville，Tennessee.Many country performers used to attend (参加) the convention to give their performances.Fans would go to Nashville hoping to see their favorite performers.In the end，so many fans began showing up in Nashville that a festival named Fan Fair was born.

The first Fan Fair was held in April 1972，in Nashville for four days.Some of c ountry music’s biggest stars attended.There were about fifty thousand fans.The first Fan Fair was so successful that planning began almost immediately for 1973.The date was changed to June，when the weather would be better.Over one hundred thousand fans attended the second Fan Fair.

Every year brought so many performers and fans to Fan Fair that，in 1982，it was moved to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds.Fan Fair stayed at the fairgrounds for another nineteen years.

There was always the unexpected during the festival.In 1974，former Beatle Paul McCartney attended.In 1992，more than six hundred reporters from Europe，Asia，and South America went to cover the appearance of a popular star，Billy Ray Cyrus，who had introduced a new country line dance.In 1996，Garth Brooks，who made a surprise appearance，signed autographs (签名) for 23 hours.

In 2001，Fan Fair re turned to downtown Nashville as the world’s biggest c ountry music festival.Now，over one hundred and twenty-five thousand country music fans go to Nashville every June.As you can imagine，those who want to attend Fan Fair must plan ahead.For example，they need to buy a ticket several months ahead of time.Of course，there’s much more to prepare.
