Kevin Costner Returns To Play This Weekend’s Big Valley Jamboree After Last Years Stage Collapse

Kevin Costner has returned to Alberta. The musician and actor arrived at the Edmonton International Airport today for this weekend’s Big Valley Jamboree. Costner was caught backstage when the event’s stage collapsed after a massive storm ripped through the area last year.  Music fan Donna Moore was killed after the stage’s steel beams and speakers came crashing down. She was sitting on the stage when the structure collapsed.  Costner says he became trapped under some netting when the winds picked up.

“The wind became an animal and you could see it was almost in slow motion, the big tarp started to move and something felt terribly terribly wrong.”

Costner managed to free himself from the netting, but his band’s road manager was seriously injured. The musician says he stayed by the man’s side and tried to stop the bleeding. The road manager says Costner saved his life.  The Hollywood star tells media it was one of the most terrifying moments of his life, but insists he had to come back.

“We knew we wanted to come back right away, we were asked to come back and it was on our calendars and has been there the last year,” said Costner. “We’re gonna turn the music up and we’re gonna celebrate our own lives and everyone who’s there and we’ll try to think back and remember those who aren’t,” he added.

Thousands of people are already making their way into Camrose for the four-day music festival.  Fans at this year’s event will see some changes to the main stage to ensure a new, stronger stage is constructed. Panhandle Productions says the new stage will have more steel and more cement just in case another storm whips through. Additional braces have also been installed.

Among the dozens of country music stars set to take the stage this weekend, Doc Walker and Miranda Lambert will be performing Friday. Kevin Costner takes the stage Saturday followed by country superstar Martina McBride. On Sunday, Canadian stars Crystal Shawanda and Corb Lund will perform for starry-eyed fans. Then hit-maker Keith Urban will finish off the night with a highly-anticipated show.

A lone fiddle player will take to the stage and offer a song in memory of Donna Moore on Saturday evening. The tribute will also include a minute of silence.

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher Talk Where They Will Call Home and Kids

“I love it here in Ottawa,” Mike Fisher, told reporters Wednesday at his annual hockey camp, reports Canada’s CTV. Fisher says that he and his new bride plan to remain in Ottawa for as long as his team, the Senators, wants him. So how does Carrie feel about calling Canada home?

 “She likes it, she knows how much I like it, and I want to stay here my whole career if possible,” says Fisher. “We’re both comfortable here. Home is where we are, so let’s make this home.”

Given their work schedules, “Probably the airport will be the main residence,” he concedes with a laugh. “There will be lots of traveling. We’ll be all over, so it’s all good.”

Currently, the couple divide their time between homes in Nashville and Peterborough, Ontario. But come the time he’s played out?

“When I’m done [with] hockey, she’ll still be working. I’m sure she can always work. We’ll settle in Nashville. I love it there. I’ve got lots of friends there now, I love the area. I like a lot of things about it. There’s a nice church that we love, that we go to … that being said, it’s a little ways away. I want to obviously play a few years, a bunch of years here yet,” he says, according to the Ottawa Sun.

“We obviously want kids, but that’s down the road,” he also says. “Now is not the time, especially with our busy schedules, everything we’ve got going on. We don’t know exactly when, but definitely we will.”

Gretchen Wilson is joining a national public service campaign run by the Advertising Council and the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. The series of ads promote the GED diploma among people who did not complete high school and are now in their mid to late 20s.

Wilson will appear in ads, which stress the benefits of obtaining a GED diploma, including better career prospects and confidence for those who get them.

“People need the right tools to succeed, and, at the very minimum, a major tool on the road to success is a high school diploma or GED,” Wilson said. “This campaign will go a long way toward educating people on how to take that first step to make a difference in their lives and the lives of their families, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”

The singer dropped out of school in the eighth grade and received her GED twenty years later at 34 and has since promoted adult literacy. She has also campaigned for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and for national obesity education.
