Investigators in Nashville, Ind., are still trying to determine the cause of a weekend fire that destroyed the Little Nashville Opry, a popular concert venue for country music artists since 1975.
No one was injured in the blaze that broke out late Saturday (Sept. 19) following a concert. The Little Nashville Opry is not affiliated with the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn., although the concert hall has presented a long list of country performers, including Johnny Cash and George Strait. The venue's schedule included upcoming shows by George Jones, Bobby Bare, Loretta Lynn, Asleep at the Wheel, Sawyer Brown and Bucky Covington.
According to the Brown County Convention and Visitor's Bureau, the Little Nashville Opry has canceled all remaining shows for the season. The recent fire has totally destroyed the historic building including instruments, equipment and memorabilia. The Visitor's Bureau noted that several offers were made from venues throughout Brown County, offering to work with the Opry to keep the scheduled performances, but the enormity of the problem is too massive to deal with at this time.
The Opry is requesting that all ticket holders who are requesting a refund follow these procedures:
