Country’s hottest stars have teamed up for almost two decades to benefit City of Hope, a leading research and treatment institution for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The complete all-star line up will be announced in the coming weeks.
Blair Garner, creator of ‘After MidNite with Blair Garner’ comments, “For three straight years, the After MidNite team has graciously conceded defeat to the Grand Ole Opry team. We are hoping for something different this year. Namely that for once, the Grand Ole Opry Live team won't cheat. Would you like to try some of our grapes? They're a little on the tart side.”
Keith Anderson
Pete Fisher, Grand Ole Opry vice president and general manager, said, “everyone on the Opry Live team knows how important it is to assist in raising funds for such a great cause, but can we also just say how much fun we have had kicking some After MidNite tail these last three years? It has been a true pleasure to walk off the field as champs three summers in a row, and we don’t see any reason the streak should stop now. After MidNite is hereby cordially invited to our dugout for an Opry Live celebration immediately after the game. We really do like them; they apparently just can’t play softball.”
