(La Porte, IN) - A major country music act is coming to La Porte County to perform during the 10th annual Red Wine and Brew fund raising event for local first responders.
Big & Rich with Cowboy Troy is scheduled to be on the stage on June 28.
The three day event hosted by Bethany Lutheran Church in La Porte will again be held along Johnson Road near 500 West.
Church member Carrie Garwood said Big & Rich with a reputation for being patriotic is a perfect fit for the event that has raised more than $170,000 for local police and fire departments along with other first responder units.
“That offer went out and got accepted,” she said.
Other major country music performers booked for the event are Lee Greenwood, known best for the song “God Bless The USA,” along with Parmalee. Greenwood has been in the spotlight again recently for his performances of the song during events for President Donald Trump.
“He was well suited to fit into the patriotic theme and our 10 year anniversary,” said Pastor Dennis Meyer.
Greenwood and Parmalee are scheduled for June 27. Another country music performer, Dillon Carmichael, is scheduled for June 28. There will also be a raffle for a 1971 red Chevy Corvette as part of the fund raising event with tickets offered at $10 apiece.
