The silver lining of being the epicenter of a 5.8 magnitude earthquake?
You just might get a free country music concert.
On Monday, Mineral, Virginia was declared the host of a free Alan Jackson concert.
Mineral received more than 31,000 votes in the competition sponsored by eventful.com. Kansas City was in second place and Minot, N.D., was third. The date of the concert will be announced later.
Mineral Vice Mayor Bernice Wilson-Kube tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the contest has been a welcome distraction from the 5.8-magnitude earthquake's frequent aftershocks.
The last two shocks came on October 9, when tremors of 2.1 and 2.4 shook Virginia.
