Montgomery Gentry Helping Build A Playground Today

Montgomery Gentry will be in Lexington, Kentucky today. Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry will join volunteers from The Home Depot, Academy of Country Music and KaBOOM! to construct a playground in one day at Booker T. Washington Academy. The Kentucky natives are being honored with a playground built in their honor as recipients of this year's The Home Depot Humanitarian Award, which was presented back in April at the 45th annual ACM Awards. The duo let their fans pick the location for their park. Lexington was chosen as the playground site through an online vote.
