Blake Shelton Announces 2nd Annual Raindance Charity Event

Nashville, TN. (Warner Brothers Records) - Warner Brothers recording artist Blake Shelton has announced his 2nd annual Raindance charity event to be held in his hometown of Ada , OK April 22-24. The three-day event will include an archery tournament, team roping and a concert on the 24th with Shelton and some of his friends including Steve Holy, Neal McCoy and Craig Morgan (more to be announced later). Already on-board to participate in the sporting events are Lee and Tiffany Lakosky of 'Gettin' Close' from the Outdoor Channel and Matt Morrett Pro staff at Realtree and Hunter's Specialities.

Last year the event raised over $133,000 for the victims of Oklahoma 's debilitating drought and subsequent wildfires of 2005 – 2006. Many family farms were completely destroyed, with livestock and equipment lost and no way or means to build back. Shelton decided to host Raindance after witnessing first hand the devastation. Raindance has partnered with the Oklahoma Lumbermen's Association and their relief program, Project Rebuild, to distribute aid throughout the 28 counties of Oklahoma .
