Mineral received more than 31,000 votes in the competition sponsored by eventful.com. Kansas City was in second place and Minot, N.D., was third.

Mineral Vice Mayor Bernice Wilson-Kube tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the contest has been a welcome distraction from the 5.8-magnitude earthquake's frequent aftershocks.

A date for the concert hasn't been set.
