Terrible news folks. One person was killed and about 60 were hurt at a country music festival, the Big Valley Jamboree, near the western Canadian city of Edmonton Saturday when the main stage collapsed during a heavy storm. It is reported that Billy Currington was wrapping up his set at the four-day event near Camrose, about one hour’s drive southeast of Edmonton, when the accident happened. (Reuters Canada)
