Activity director Janelle Wilson of the Warsaw parks department announced Davey Jones of the Monkees will be the Classic Rock Concert headliner June 18. Jones' appearance is part of a series of Friday night concerts sponsored by the department and area businesses scheduled throughout the summer.
Wilson's announcement came during Friday's Warsaw Board of Works meeting.
The streetscape project was tentatively awarded to Cluney Landscaping of Huntington. The company's bid came in at $186,085, more than $55,000 less than other bidders.
