John Michael Montgomery's upcoming show (tonight) was nearly wiped out when the Balsam Valley Amphitheater in Maine, where the show is scheduled to be held, was nearly destroyed by high winds from Hurricane Arthur.
In a statement issued by the venue, organizer Rob Worcester said, "The winds destroyed tents, equipment and even closed the entrance on (U.S.) Route 1 when power lines were knocked down."
Volunteers have been working nearly around the clock to rebuild the amphitheatre in time for the doors to open at 6 p.m.
"It is a mess, but everyone is working hard to get things back in place and with cooperation from John Michael Montgomery and even our local community volunteers, it looks like we are going to have great weather and a great event on Sunday."
Proceeds from the show will benefit Wreaths Across America, an organization that lays wreaths on veterans’ graves at Christmas.
