Craig Morgan Cancels Water Carnival Show

It’s the 81st annual Water Carnival in Detroit Lakes.

But a tragedy has impacted a big concert planned for this weekend.

The carnival was scheduled to host country music singer Craig Morgan this Saturday during the “Bash at the Beach”.

Unfortunately Morgan’s appearance had to be canceled after his son, Jerry Greer, was found dead after a tubing accident on Monday in Tennessee.

“Out of respect for the family you know everything is taken care of there, but we do owe the community a good show so we’re actively looking and we’re working on booking another gig,” said Carnival Admiral Alyson Larson.

Carnival organizers have not yet released the name of who will be replacing Morgan Saturday night.

All other events are still to be held as planned until the carnival ends Sunday.
