Ladies of the 80s!

A large crowd gathered at Fountain Park in downtown Van Wert Friday night for the kickoff to Van Wert Live’s Feel Good Friday summer concert series. Those in attendance were transported back to the 80s – at least the big hair and the music of the time as the Ladies of the 80s rocked the park with hits by Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Whitney Houston, Pat Bentar and others. The concert was in conjunction with the Peony Festival, which continues today (Saturday). Bob Barnes/Van Wert independent
