MIDDLETOWN >> The Clayton Fire has devastated and impacted the Communities of Lower Lake and Clearlake. As a result, the Middletown Rancheria Tribal Council has decided to cancel the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy concert scheduled for this weekend at the Twin Pine Casino and Hotel.
The band had bee set to perform at the Twin Pine Event Center tonight.
Tribal Council of the Middletown Rancheria, operators of Twin Pine Casino and Hotel, opened its doors to house the evacuees and fire survivors. In coordination with the Red Cross, the Tribe has been intricately involved in the disaster relief efforts by once again opening an evacuation center at the Twin Pine Casino Event Center, adjacent to the casino.
“It was an easy and heartfelt decision that our community will always come first” said Jose “Moke” Simon, Tribal Council Chairman for the Middletown Rancheria. “We are housing many fire survivors at our Event Center and we are not willing to further displace members of our community to host a concert”.
All Members of the Middletown Rancheria Tribal Council continue to support these efforts and want to ensure a stability place of shelter for the fire survivors that have been displaced.
Mark Kruspe, General Manager of the casino said, “This Friday would be an inappropriate time to have a concert considering what so many of our community members are going through. For guests that purchased tickets, we will be issuing full refunds on all ticket sales. For now the health and safety of our community members is our priority.”
Those holding tickets to Friday’s Concert can go to twinpine.com for more information on reimbursement.
