Warsaw Parks and Recreation kicks off — By MARISSA SWEATLAND Staff Writer The Warsaw Parks and Recreation Department is back with its 27th annual Summer Concert Series. On Fridays, throughout the summer, the parks department has organized free, family-friendly concerts taking place in one of the community’s beautiful parks. Every concert highlights a different musical genre, so all music lovers should find a concert that matches their style. “It really has been so fun to be a part of the Summer Concert Series,” said Stephanie Schaefer, recreation director of the Warsaw Parks and Recreation Department. “Each year, it seems like more and more people come out.” The Summer Concert Series is made possible through grants from the Kosciusko County Community Foundation and the Indiana Arts Commission. For a full list of sponsors, visit warsaw. in.gov/parks. “We would love to see that growth continue in the years to come,” Lynnae Miller, assistant recreation director of the Warsaw Parks and Recreation Department. “We hope to bring an even bigger crowd as this is part of what we love doing for our community.” Concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs for comfortable seating. The parks department discourages bringing umbrellas, as they block the view for others. This year’s series kicked off last Friday, May 24 with Matt Gabriel, a pop performer, in Central Park. Each concert is from 7-8:30 p.m. Continued on page 3
