WOONSOCKET, R.I. (WPRI) – A country superstar made a Burrillville family weak in the knees last Saturday.
Veteran of the war in Iraq, Shaun Connor and his family knew they were receiving a three-bedroom ranch house from Operation Homefront , but they had no idea who would be there to present it to them.
Connor, his wife Allysse, and their three-year-old-daughter Molly Rose went to their new house Saturday and when they opened the door, they were face-to-face with country music star Tim McGraw.
Operation Homefront, along with McGraw's help, gave the family the house mortgage-free.
The family was then brought to Gillette Stadium to enjoy Tim McGraw’s concert, and even got a shout-out from McGraw during the show.
