Tonight’s ‘Bluegrass Jam’ Event in Knox Will Help Assist Hungry Starke County Citizens

Community members are invited to bring non-perishable food donations to the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center tonight in order to gain access to the Country Music and Gospel Bluegrass Jam event hosted by the City of Knox.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. and wrap up around 10 p.m.

Earlier this week, Mayor Dennis Estok told city council members and meeting attendees that there will be a few bands that typically perform during this annual event. However, he noted that it’s open to community musicians as well.

Mayor Estok explained, “It’s open to anybody who wants to play, it’s not closed. If you have a group that plays, show up and they’ll schedule you.”

All of the collected food items will be donated to the Starke County Community Services’ Food Pantry. At least one item is required for admission but you’re free to bring as many donations as you’d like.

Attendees are also welcome to bring a covered dish to share. Soda and coffee will be provided and a 50/50 drawing will take place.

If you have any questions, contact the Mayor’s Office at 574-772-4553.
