In hopes of raising awareness and making the concert a sell-out, Chris Scheetz from CISN Country is camped out in the bucket of a fire truck 90 feet above Yellowhead Trail between highway 60 and 44. Scheetz will spend 30 hours in the ladder truck, with visitors from the concert coming to help him in his efforts.
