WARSAW — A large crowd turned out for Third Friday for music, giveaways and a huge variety of gorgeous cars in downtown Warsaw.
Kosciusko Board of Realtors hosted the car show which featured 114 vehicles — more than doubled what they had at least year’s event.
At the same time, 107.3 WRSW celebrated its first 75 years in business, hosting a block party that included live music from the Dad Bods and giveaways that includes commemorative t-shirts.
A large crowd also gathered for the finals of Warsaw’s got talent featuring two singers and a comedian.
19-year-old Natalie Linnemeier, whose family spends summers on Chapman Lake, was named winner of the talent show.
Scott Wiley, with the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce, said the turnout for the entire event marked the biggest number of spectators for the revamped Third Friday this year.
He said he expects a strong turnout next month for Taste of Kosciusko.
