“So I wanted to do something, this is definitely a passion project for me, bringing everyone together and just helping out the community,” says Michelle Tuss, who lives in Emmett.
She figured the best way to help out her community was to put on a benefit concert.
“So Nick Davis and The Timberbutte Boys have agreed to put on a benefit concert for the Paddock Fire to raise money for the firefighters and those impacted by the fire. There have been ranchers that have lost livestock and fencing and grazing grounds and we want to help raise money to go back to the community that have helped the firefighters that are here,” says Tuss.
