Scot Dunnachie of Sandy River Entertainment has an Alaska-size dream. A dream of thousands of people soaking up the sounds of major music stars under the midnight sun at an outdoor concert setting near Willow.
Over the next few years he plans to build and expand the Sandy River Amphitheater on a 70-acre parcel off the Susitna River until it resembles a northern version of Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheater or the Gorge at George, Washington. Eventually, he hopes to see crowds of up to 10,000 at Sandy River shows. In the meantime, a few smaller events have been scheduled for this summer "as a warm-up," he said.
