Welcome to Louisville Slugger Day at CarrieNEWS!
In honor of Carrie's performance at the Kentucky State Fair this evening, CarrieNEWS is naming this day Louisville Slugger Day!
As most of you know, the lyrics of Carrie's new single "Before He Cheats" includes references to Louisville Slugger. A representative of Louisville Slugger tells CarrieNEWS that the company has teamed up with WAMZ-FM to produce and present a bat for Carrie. How cool is that?!

Neighbors raise money to help fire victims
Kjerstin Ramsing/News4 Reporter
LOON LAKE -- A mulit-faceted fundraiser was held on Saturday for the victims of the August 9th Valley Mill Fire. The fire destroyed 10 homes near the town of Valley, Washington.
Neighbors in the Loon Lake community held car washes, yard sales and a spaghetti feed and silent auction to raise money for the uninsured families that lost their homes.
The spaghetti feed at Loon Lake Saloon and Grill drew support from local supporters and national celebrities alike. County Music stars Faith Hill and Carrie Underwood each donated autographed guitars to be auctioned off.
Patricia Sponsel of Loon Lake told News4 that "big names aside, it is a small close knit community that usually helps out the most in times of need".
The Valley Mill fire scorched 300 acres.

From a Q and A with Anthony Federov....
Do you still keep in touch with past Idols? If so, who?
*Andrea*
"I keep in touch pretty much with everybody. I talk to Carrie most of the time. We talk quite a bit."
I know you're both huge animal lovers. Did that bring you together?
*Mrs. Jones*
"Actually, no. Carrie and I first bonded because our personalities connected. Carrie – she's a great girl and we started hanging out. The less people that were on the show, the more we just bonded and hung out."
