Jeep Jammin for the Hoosier Burn Camp
The community is invited to the annual “Jeep Jammin’ for the Camp” at Foster Park from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 8 for an evening of Jeeps (or any vehicle you drive), food and live music from Los Colognes.
$25 gets you a parking spot for an up close and personal view of the Kokomo Performing Arts Pavilion where Nashville-based band Los Colognes will take the stage for a special edition of the Summer Concert Series.
“Instead of a drive-in movie, it’s a drive-in concert,” said McKay, who credits the success of the event to the businesses and organizations that are involved.
