Eagle Point Resort and Beaver County in Utah are set to host two free community concerts on September 19th as the region continues its long recovery from the devastating Cottonwood Fire.
The concerts will take place at the Beaver High School Auditorium, with performances scheduled for 4pm and 7:30pm. Doors will open one hour before each show. Admission is free and open to the public, although organizers are encouraging guests to arrive early because seating capacity is limited.
The event will feature Chloë Agnew, the original voice of Celtic Woman, along with rising country artist Katie Mathews. The performances are intended to bring residents together while recognizing the firefighters, first responders, emergency personnel, volunteers, businesses and residents who have contributed to the recovery effort.
Beaver County Continues to Recover
The concerts come after the Cottonwood Fire burned more than 97,000 acres across the region. The fire caused extensive damage in the Eagle Point community, destroying homes, condominiums and critical resort infrastructure.
Recovery challenges continued after the fire was contained. Subsequent flooding and erosion damaged property, affected transportation corridors, and created additional hardships for residents throughout Beaver County.
“The strength of Beaver County has been on display every day since the fire. This is about bringing people together, celebrating the progress that’s been made, recognizing those who stepped forward when their community needed them most, and looking ahead with hope.” – Shane Gadbaw, owner of Eagle Point Resort.
Long Term Recovery Efforts Continue
Recovery work remains underway across Beaver County with assistance from residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations and government partners.
BeaverTUF, a community foundation established following the Cottonwood Fire, is supporting long term recovery, restoration and resilience initiatives. The organization is working with community leaders, land management agencies and technical experts on potential forest restoration, watershed recovery and wildfire mitigation projects.
The free concerts will offer Beaver County residents a chance to gather, reflect on the challenges they have faced and recognize the collective effort that continues to shape the region’s recovery.
