Nashville came to Mt. Crested Butte again this year as singers and songwriters gathered to help raise money for the Tough Enough To Wear Pink (TETWP) campaign. Two big names — Deanna Carter and Mark Powell — joined Dean Dillon on stage for the annual Singer/Songwriter Concert and Live Auction at the Mountaineer Square Conference Center. In total, the TETWP local campaign had raised $1.6 million before this year’s concert. Totals are still being tabulated from Tuesday night’s event. Last year, the event topped $200,000 in contributions.
