Warsaw Native Officially Named “The Bachelor”

It's official. 2008 Warsaw Community High School graduate Ben Higgins will be featured as “The Bachelor” on ABC during the new season. The official announcement was made last night during “After Paradise” on ABC. Higgins, who is 26, made it to the final three during Kaitlyn's season on “The Bachelorette” this year, but was booted off. Higgins now lives in Denver where he is a business analyst at Talisys. Higgins' parents still reside in Winona Lake and it's likely that ABC will be in town to film the hometown dates towards the end of the show. Filming for the show is expected to start this fall.
