Country star Blake Shelton gave the north country a big dose of country Friday night at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.

The Disabled Persons Action Organization booked Mr. Shelton as part of its 2012 Summer Concert Series.

Mr. Shelton’s hits include “Austin,” “The Baby,” “Home” and “Hillbilly Bone.” The first single from his latest CD, “Honey Bee,” rose to number one on the country singles charts last year.

He was also seen with Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green as judges on NBC’s talent show “The Voice.”
