I purchased tickets to the beer brats and burgers event on July 20th as a surprise for my mother for her 60th birthday to see her favorite artist Eddie Money. I found out on my own today that he will not be performing. It would have been nice to get an email so we did not drive all that way just too be disappointed. I understand things happen but a simple email or announcement on their website that things have changed would have been nice. Now I have less than 3 weeks to figure something else out.
