Elizabeth Marie Wirak-Cassidy was born on Sept. 6 at Bartlett Regional Hospital in Juneau at 7:11 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. and measured 32 inches in length. She came to Liam Cassidy and Tracy Wirak Cassidy through adoption and they are so proud of their sweet Betsy. Baby Betsy’s first ferry ride on the Alaska Marine Highway was smooth sailing and included a picture with the Haines Glacier Bears cross-country team.
Luke Bryan has just shared the unfortunate news that his Farm Tour stop in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, will no longer take place as scheduled tonight (Sept. 17) due to unsafe field conditions.
Just hours before he was supposed to take the stage at 1846 Farms, Bryan too to his Instagram story to let fans know about the cancellation. In his statement, he explained that the decision was made with the safety of everyone attending the event in mind.
“Hey y’all. Unfortunately, tonight’s Farm Tour show in Latrobe, PA will not take place due to the conditions of the field. I am so sorry. This call was made for everyone’s safety.”
The country star says fans should hold onto their tickets and parking passes as his team is working on the next steps. As soon as a decision has been made, he will relay the update through social media and his website. Ticketholders can also keep an eye on the email for more information coming soon.
“God bless and stay safe y’all,” he added in conclusion.
Tonight’s show was expected to bring roughly 20,000 fans to the Latrobe area, with Dasha and Kenny Whitmire also scheduled to appear as part of the lineup. The Stas family explained to Trib Live that preparing the farm to host involved clearing about 30 acres to accommodate the stage, vendors and parking. Hosting an event like this would be no easy task, but they were up for the challenge.
“It’s really fun to see us on the map for something like a headlining country star like Luke Bryan,” Stas said. “For so many people who might not have the means to travel down to Pittsburgh for this kind of concert, it’s really cool that he’s coming to our backyard.”
Luke Bryan is scheduled to continue his Farm Tour with three more shows this weekend. He will head to Ohio on Sept. 18, Indiana on Sept. 19 and Michigan on Sept. 20.
The news arrives just one day before the release of Luke Bryan’s ninth studio album, Signs. After working on the 12-song collection for the past year, it will finally be available to fans.
He shared an early glimpse into the album with his current Top 10 radio hit, “Country And She Knows It,” as well as “Word On The Street,” “Fish Hunt Golf Drink” and more.
Music City fans will also have the opportunity to celebrate the release with Luke Bryan when he performs Luke Bryan & Friends at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday, September 24. The five-time Entertainer of the year will deliver a set list full of No. 1 hits as well as plenty of brand-new tracks.
All performers on the show will be surprise guests, except CMA New Artist of the Year nominee Avery Anna, who was announced as an opener.
“Nashville! I can’t wait to celebrate my new album #Signs at Luke & Friends next week…Get ready to have a good time with some very special guests,” Bryan wrote in anticipation of the night.

I am among many Haines residents who enthusiastically welcome younger people stepping up to run for public office.
Some people who have lived here most of their adult lives lament that things look different from when they arrived a half century ago or what they remember from their childhood. Big surprise. Two generations have passed. Now there are many younger professional people working remotely, bringing money to our community. This paid work is “invisible.” They…
