Posted: 7/23/2009 1:39:19 PM | Just wondering if anyone is headed to the Big Valley Jamboree 2009
Me and a couple buddies will be there Thursday - Sunday. This will be the first time I will be there for the entire show.
Look for the 37' Raptor Toy Hauler and stop by and say hi.
Maybe I'll see ya there. | |

A massive storm knocked down the main stage at the Big Valley Jamboree tonight.
Around 6 p.m., strong winds began whipping up dust and suddenly the stage collapsed.
A Billy Currington band member was assisted from the wreckage. His bloodied arm was badly injured. His band was playing when the stage went down.
There are reports of further injuries, but no details at this time. Scores of people are apparently trapped in the wreckage.

Posted: 8/1/2009 9:24:22 PM | Regarding being able to post the short posts, it's because that person hasn't been banned for "chatting" in the threads or some other ban of similar ilk . For those that have been banned, the number of characters per post varies - i.e. 100, 200 and so on.
And yes, in the grand scheme of things, it does matter for some people because they need to build up their character count to the required amount in order to post in a thread. | |

Posted: 8/1/2009 11:43:31 PM | Wasn't good at all, one confirmed dead, 8 in hospital with serious and critical injuries, 60 - 80 more injured and as of the last news report...they think people still may be buried in the rubble.
A lot of people injured weren't near the stage..they were hit by debris, tents and port a potties than were blown away, etc.
My son's gf and some of his friends were up there...was scary for a while since he couldn't reach any of them | |

Posted: 8/1/2009 11:51:23 PM | It's almost 3 a.m., I'm in Ontario and just heard. Didn't hear that anyone died, but that it was a freak storm.
Some of our POF friends are there. Hoping that they, and all got out safe and sound.
Keep us updated. This is so terrible. I'm sorry for anyone who got hurt.

I just read up on this. I'm house-sitting for the weekend and somehow, for some reason ?? I didn't watch the news last night. And do they NOT get a newspaper?? lol
Going home later today. Hope nobody stole mine. | |

Posted: 8/2/2009 11:42:56 AM | There's all kinds of stories on it online Daisy, check the Edmonton papers online, there are some pretty scary pictures there.
I have friends up there too, hope they are all ok :(
Here's a link my friend sent me.

Posted: 8/2/2009 5:29:21 PM | The only person that I am aware of that was up there was cmpfires, and I believe the word was that she was okay.
My heart goes out to everyone there, what a horrible thing to have happen at what should've been a good time. | |

Posted: 8/2/2009 10:54:41 PM | I drove by BVJ on the way home tonight (I had to leave on Friday to go to another event), and it isn't a pretty site. :(
Kinda makes a person really think...when you are somewhere and leave and something like that happens! SO CLOSE TO HOME!
I would guess about 70 per cent of the people have left today, it looked pretty abandoned. | |

Who'da thunkit? Wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured. | |
