TRACE ADKINS CONCERT CANCELLED IN CLE ELUM, WA DUE TO
DEVASTATING WILDFIRES
A statement from Trace Adkins:
With heartfelt concern for the residents of Cle Elum, WA
who are currently facing devastating wildfires, I can not in good conscience
stage a concert this Friday while the community is under such strain.
We have been following the developments closely and while
the Swiftwater Cellars Amphitheater is not directly in the fire’s path, Gov.
Gregoire has declared a state of emergency and reports indicate that the fire,
which has claimed 22,000 acres, will require up to seven more days before it is
comfortably contained.
I know all too well what residents are feeling as they
evacuate their homes. I thank God that reports indicate no loss of life. As the
hundreds of firefighters, National Guardsmen and community leaders work
overtime to keep everyone safe, I hope that those who have the means will also
offer their help.
This local website provides a rundown of how to help,
whether you are across the country or just a town away: http://mynorthwest.com/108/722836/HOW-TO-HELP-Cle-Elum--Ellensburg-wildfire-victims.
We look forward to returning and celebrating the
community’s strength once this crisis has passed.
