Christian musician Ryan Stevenson will perform at the Honeywell Center Ford Theater Friday, Feb. 3, entertaining his audience with contemporary worship songs.
 
Taking the stage with special guest Cody Collier, Stevenson told The Paper of Wabash County that when the crowd walks away Friday night, he hopes they walk with their faith strengthened.
 
“My hope, my prayer, my vision for the night is that people who come are really going to get more than just a concert and just music,” he said. “They’re going to hear a lot of stories, a lot of testimony, just a lot of really transparent experience from my life that I put into my songs and just share a lot from my heart.

County to lobby lawmakers
By Emma Rausch
 
Former County Council member Bill Ruppel will be lobbying state legislators on behalf of Wabash County in regards to the recent jail study.
 
The Wabash County Commissioners approved a contract with Ruppel on Tuesday, Jan. 17.
 
“At the last jail study meeting, it became apparent that there are financial options to be considered, and we don’t have many,” Commissioner Barry Eppley said. “One of options is the income tax authorization for the jail and to get that, we have to get permission from state legislature and in order to do that, there has to be a request … to the state legislature and in order to do that, there’s a lobbying effort that has to be undertaken."
