PHOTOS: Ludacris takes the stage at the Oregon State Fair

The Oregon State Fair features musical acts ranging from pop and country to hip-hop and rock.

But perhaps none are as well-known as multi-platinum selling Ludacris.

The rapper played to a sold out crowd Thursday evening at the L.B. Day Amphitheater.
