Alan Jackson Takes His Show To A High School Parking Lot!
Alan Jackson will take his show to the small town of Mineral, VA – population 490 – on Sunday, May 20 at 8:00pm in the parking lot of Louisiana County High School. In an effort to help raise funds for the Louisiana Education Foundation (LEF) tickets for Alan Jackson: Music For Mineral live concert event went on sale April 4 at 10:00 am ET.
The concert/fundraising event is being presented by Smithfield Packing. Money raised by the event will be used to assist the county public schools in their rebuilding efforts as a result of an August 2011 earthquake. The Louisiana County High School is currently condemned after earthquake damage.
In addition to the concert, The Alan Jackson Charity Golf Classic will be held at The Royal Virginian Golf Course on the morning of Saturday, May 19. For details on registering as a player or team, please visit www.theroyalvirginian.com. All proceeds will go to the LEF.
Jackson’s concert is the culmination of a national campaign. Fans across the country had two months last fall to vote, with the winning city receiving a concert from Jackson. The little town of Mineral collected over 31,000 votes and won the opportunity to host the concert. Mineral continues to repair and rebuild after they were the epicenter of a rare East Coast earthquake that hit on August, 23 2011.
I wanted to add that it is Louisa County High School and Louisa education foundation, not Louisiana.
It isn't Louisiana County it is Louisa County High School in Mineral, Va.. Please make the correction. Thanks
