This year’s headliner of the free Country Concert in the park will be Jo Dee Messina. The singer of “Bye Bye,” “My Give A Damn’s Busted” and “Heads Carolina, Tails California” will take the stage Friday, July 18, at Central Park in Warsaw.

Warsaw’s three-member Board of Public Works and Safety unanimously voted to approved the $25,000 contract to bring Messina to town.

Also approved for events in the park will be the Incredible Bats Exhibit for Fall Family Fun on Oct. 10, and contracts with caricature artists Randy Martin and Darlene McCartney for the Family Carnival on Aug. 1.
