In preparation for the Short Mountain Distillery’s hosting of the Bonnaroo Refugee-The Detour event, the Cannon County Emergency Management Agency in conjunction with County EMS and assistance from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency activated a Command Post to prepare for the massive influx of attendees from the canceled Bonnaroo Concert in neighboring Coffee County.
Over 1,000 people have arrived in Cannon County to attend this event. Preplans have been developed for this event and equipment staged in the event of any emergency calls.
The agency gave the update in a Friday evening social media post.
