Attention ticket holders; Alan Jackson’s Summerside concert has been.

The show was originally scheduled for Wednesday, May 1, at Credit Union Place, but will now be held on Monday, May 6.

In a release issued today, Jackson’s representatives expressed their regret at having to inconvenience his fans.

The rescheduling is so Jackson can attend the funeral of his friend and mentor George Jones, who passed away last week.

Ticketholders who cannot attend the new date are asked to contact the Credit Union box office, at 432-1234, for details.

Historic Stanhope Beach Lodge is engulfed by a raging fire late this afternoon.

Flames have consumed much of the rear section of the main lodge, sending staff inside scrambling for safety.

Staff were busy trying to save furniture, paintings and whatever else they could carry out before flames forced them outside. The resort reports all staff are safe.

Stanhope Beach Resort staff told a Guardian photographer they were inside cleaning when flames suddenly erupted just before 4 p.m.
It appears much of the main resort is lost and the roof has collapsed in the rear. The centre roof is about to collapse as well.
Firefighters are battling to save adjacent cottages and other buildings but some cabins are also now on fire.

North Shore fire department was first on the scene. Mutual aid was called and Charlottetown firefighters arrived on the scene with trucks just before 4:45 p.m.

Strong westerly winds is making it difficult for firefighters to put out the flames
