I saw Petula Clark performing at the Ohio State Fair.
In August 29, 1969 I went to the Ohio State Fair to see Petula Clark to perform live I fooled around a little bit until her 2:00 PM show and watch her perform in the heat. I even bought a program for $2 which I kept over a brown paper bag.
After the show was over I fool around again at the fair until her 7:00 PM show and went to the grandstand to watch her perform again and this time it was much cooler 72 degress.
I noticed Petula Clark looking at my direction she probably tought I was part of her fan club because I took the program book and inserted into the brown paper bag and laid it on top of my lap .
Petula came over to our suppose fan group of the audience and there she was 72 feet away from me .Like a dumb dumb I took out my binoculars to take a closer look at her face but she wave her hand in a goodbye fashion and went back on stage.
I was only 20 years old then, if I were smart I should have giving her a sharpie and ask her if she'll autograph my program.
But I do know that one member of the audience got himself/herself a souvenir during the daytime show Petula got thristy and ask for a drink from a fan. She drank from the soda pop paper cup and returned it.
Who knows this fan may still have that souvenir paper cup this very day shame there is no way to authenticate it.
Anyway it was still cool to have Petula Clark and I in the same area. :)
Petula Clark will be 81 this coming November 15th.

I was listening to NPR today, they had a human interest story about “what was your first concert?” I thought back and remembered seeing Petula Clark at the Ohio State Fair. I googled, “when was Petula Clark at the Ohio State Fair?” Your blog came up. I was 13. I was there with a friend who was the big fan, we were celebrating her birthday. Thanks for the memory!
