Frank Loffredo shares, “This was part of an annual OUTDOOR ROCK FESTIVAL on the shore of Lake Superior. that Grand Portage has generously decided to cover all the costs associated not only with Smash Mouth on the Saturday headline slot June 30th, but the concert with KISS Army, and the Hoolies June 29th as well as the Boogie Wonderland and Zep Show in the afternoon on June 30th.”
“100% of proceeds from dollar one is going to the Red Cross disaster relief fund for Thunder Bay. If 2000 people show up that is $50,000 to the disaster fund. This is not something that should be going unnoticed. Hopefully other big players may come to the table. The area where the concert is large enough to accommodate thousands of people. So have fun, buy a ticket, and know that every last dollar of your ticket purchase is going back to Thunder Bay”.
