Two acts bow out from D.C.'s Great American State Fair lineup amid 250th push

Two performers listed for Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C.—Morris Day and Young MC—backed out after the lineup was announced, while Vanilla Ice remains set to perform. The 16‑day event (June 25–July 10) is pitched as a bipartisan celebration of America’s 250th anniversary on the National Mall, though critics and some reports describe it as Trump‑backed. Freedom 250 says the effort is nonpartisan, and CBS News has sought comment from the artists involved as the organizers push ahead with the festival.
