WEBVTT 00:07.940 --> 00:09.829 all of my not North Dakota pulled 00:09.829 --> 00:12.051 together to put on a benefit concert to 00:12.051 --> 00:14.273 raise money for the minute rising flood 00:14.273 --> 00:16.600 relief fund . The black eyed peas 00:16.600 --> 00:18.378 performed for a near full house 00:18.378 --> 00:20.433 saturday september three at the mine 00:20.433 --> 00:21.960 out state fairgrounds , 00:24.240 --> 00:28.000 josh from the transformers movies 00:28.010 --> 00:30.450 who was originally from my not heard 00:30.450 --> 00:32.617 about the damage done by the flood and 00:32.617 --> 00:34.617 decided to help his old friends and 00:34.617 --> 00:37.440 neighbors who came up with this idea to 00:37.450 --> 00:39.672 do something , whether it was a benefit 00:39.672 --> 00:42.220 dinner or a local concert with some 00:42.220 --> 00:46.190 local bands . Uh , I asked my wife if 00:46.190 --> 00:48.357 she would think about coming to sing a 00:48.357 --> 00:50.523 couple songs and she said , well maybe 00:50.523 --> 00:52.634 I can get the whole piece to come out 00:52.634 --> 00:54.690 too . So couple days later she calls 00:54.690 --> 00:57.010 back and says that they're all in In 00:57.020 --> 00:59.076 five short weeks . His idea became a 00:59.076 --> 01:01.920 reality to get sold for $100 each to 01:01.920 --> 01:04.087 bring in as much money for the fund as 01:04.087 --> 01:06.253 they could . More than 200 airmen from 01:06.253 --> 01:08.420 mine out Air force Base volunteered to 01:08.420 --> 01:10.198 help build up and tear down the 01:10.198 --> 01:12.309 facilities and act as security during 01:12.309 --> 01:15.650 the concert . How are you ? 01:17.240 --> 01:19.407 Residents were thankful for everything 01:19.407 --> 01:21.462 that josh Duhamel and the Black eyed 01:21.462 --> 01:23.462 peas were doing whether or not they 01:23.462 --> 01:25.684 were affected by the flood themselves . 01:25.840 --> 01:28.007 I think it's a good thing , more money 01:28.007 --> 01:30.229 we raised the faster this kid's fixed . 01:30.340 --> 01:32.530 That was really neat to see somebody 01:32.530 --> 01:34.697 who came from our town . It's a little 01:34.697 --> 01:37.450 town where and then how far he's come 01:37.530 --> 01:39.752 to come back to mine . It . So it was a 01:39.752 --> 01:42.540 nice thing . I like it because it shows 01:42.540 --> 01:44.596 that he loves Mina . I think it's an 01:44.596 --> 01:46.818 outstanding effort on their part of the 01:46.818 --> 01:48.873 fact that he doesn't forget where he 01:48.873 --> 01:50.929 came from . It's really awesome that 01:50.929 --> 01:53.540 they can do all this . Yeah , that 01:53.550 --> 01:57.170 signal any better . Gemmell personally 01:57.170 --> 01:59.059 thanked my not Air Force Base for 01:59.059 --> 02:01.059 everything they've done for Mina in 02:01.059 --> 02:03.170 their time of need . I want to say to 02:03.170 --> 02:05.281 the mind Air Force Base that you guys 02:05.281 --> 02:07.503 have been tremendous neighbors to us in 02:07.503 --> 02:11.160 this town . Uh you have , it's uhh , 02:11.540 --> 02:13.762 I know that 200 people have volunteered 02:13.762 --> 02:15.984 to come out here from the base .
