WARSAW — Those looking for a chance to be in the spotlight, or at least the fringes of it, look no further. “The Bachelor” will be hosting a public carnival in downtown Warsaw on Sunday, Oct. 25.

The event will be held on Buffalo Street and Main Street and check in will begin at 7 p.m. Guests must sign a release and obtain a wristband. No entry onto rides will be permitted without a wristband.

Rides will begin at 7:30 p.m. and are complimentary. Games and food will be available for purchase.

To receive a wristband, guests must be 18 years old or over, or they must have a legal guardian present. Additionally, guests must sign a release allowing the show to film them.

No clothing with logos and no jerseys are permitted at the event.

Ben Higgins, formerly of Warsaw, and recent contestant on “The Bachelorette,” will be bringing his search for love back home to Warsaw. On Sept. 24, a filming notification was submitted by NZK Productions, Inc., announcing the production company’s plans to film scenes for the reality show at the Kosciusko County Courthouse on Sunday, Oct. 25 and Monday, Oct. 26.

Scenes for the reality show will also be filmed at Rex’s Rendezvous from 5-11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23. Owner Robin Watters said “this is an event that is open to the public. Some seats are reserved, but I won’t let the bar get out of control.”

Scenes will be filmed of Higgins and other co-stars “eating dinner, playing pool, just enjoying themselves,” Watters said.

Several streets will be closed for a period of time to allow for filming to occur. Though streets will be closed, for the majority of the time sidewalks will be open. In addition, NZK will be employing security and placing barricades around the perimeter.

Closings include: North Buffalo Street, between West Center and West Main streets, from 12-4 p.m. Oct. 24; West Center Street, between North Buffalo and North Lake streets from 1 p.m. Oct. 24, to 6 a.m. on Oct. 27; the North Buffalo Street and West Center Street intersection from 1 p.m. on Oct. 24, to 6 a.m. Oct. 27; and the North Buffalo Street and West Main Street intersection, from 12 p.m. Oct. 24, to 6 a.m. Oct. 26, and from 6 p.m. Oct 26, to 6 a.m. Oct. 27.
