Hillsong Live Saturday night, August 3rd, Hillsong Live played the stage of the Celeste Center with their anointed brand of worship music and Christian rock. It was amazing to see the youth in particular, expressing vibrantly worship and praise to the Creator and His son, Jesus Christ all at the Ohio State Fair. The band is from Australia and is touring in support of their newest CD, "Glorious Ruins." It was the first time any of them had ever been to a state fair in the USA!

Eric Benet from the Celeste Center stage Hip hop may rule the charts, but there's still some great old school soul and rhythm 'n blues to be had in the voice of Eric Benet.
