Just thought some of the rest of you might be interested in this. We were planning to attend Ian Tyson's concert in Pierre on Friday evening, July 29th, but looks like we can now continue putting up hay instead.

Tyson concert in Rapid City canceled
By Naomi Schemm, Journal Staff Writer
RAPID CITY - Country music artist Ian Tyson has canceled his Thursday, July 28, concert at the Elks Theatre in Rapid City because of ill health, his promoter said Tuesday.
Tyson also canceled appearances in Bismarck, N.D., on Tuesday, in Pierre on Friday, July 29, and Sioux Falls on July 30.
"Unfortunately, this leg of the tour has been canceled," said Bob Moore, president of Lazy H Productions, promoter of Tyson's concerts. "We apologize to Rapid City. I know you folks really went out for it; I appreciate that tremendously."
Tyson recently performed three concerts on three successive nights in places without air conditioning, including one at The Pavilion in Deadwood on Sunday, which proved too tiring for the 71-year-old Canadian cowboy, Moore said. "It just exhausted him."
People who already bought the $40 tickets from the Elks Theatre can return them for a refund, according to general manager Curt Small. He said the theater had sold about 40 tickets in advance but had expected many more sales on the night of the concert.
Moore said the first three concerts, in Bozeman and Miles City, Mont., and Deadwood on July 22-24, were successful, and he predicted it would have had similar reception in Rapid City.
"Ian is a great artist," Moore said. "He really made a great show," despite the heat.
Local Tyson fans can hope for a concert appearance sometime in the future.
"We're hoping to maybe make Rapid City, Bismarck and the other Midwest venues in October," Moore said, although no dates have been set.
