WARSAW — Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts is making live theatre more accessible to the community with a special Community Access Weekend promotion for its summer production of Footloose.

For two days only, on Thursday and Friday, all tickets to Footloose will be available for just $25 each. There is no limit to the number of discounted tickets patrons may purchase.

The promotion officially begins on Thursday, July 3, at 10:00 a.m. and concludes on Friday, July 4, at 7 p.m. The discounted pricing cannot be applied before the promotion begins.

Patrons can redeem the Community Access Weekend offer in one of three ways:

• Use promo code COMMUNITY26 during online checkout.
• Call the Box Office at (574) 267-8041.
• Visit the Box Office in person during business hours or before the performance.

"At Wagon Wheel, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the magic of live theatre," said Sam Engle, Communications and Donor Relations Coordinator at Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts.

"Community Access Weekend is our way of welcoming even more families, friends, and first-time patrons to experience the joy, energy, and excitement of Footloose. We also know that by the Fourth of July, you've probably gathered the entire family in one place. After a long, sweaty day in the sun, when you’re probably driving each other crazy and asking, 'What do we do now?', let Wagon Wheel take it from there. Come enjoy the air conditioning, dance along to some iconic songs in your seat, and make a few new core memories together at Wagon Wheel. It’s going to be magical," Engle said.

Footloose, Wagon Wheel Professional Theatre's 487th production, is the high-energy musical based on the iconic 1984 film. Filled with unforgettable songs and electrifying dance numbers, the show celebrates the transformative power of music, community, and self-expression.

Performances continue through July 11. Tickets may be purchased online at wagonwheelcenter.org, by calling the Box Office at (574) 267-8041, or by visiting Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts at 2515 E. Center Street in Warsaw, Indiana.

NORTH WEBSTER — The northern half of Kosciusko County will continue under a winter storm warning on Sunday after Saturday’s snowstorm blanketed much of the Midwest and Great Lakes.

Saturday’s storm dumped eight inches of snow north of North Webster at the National Weather Service office, and similar amounts were reported across Kosciusko County, leaving treacherous road conditions for holiday travelers.

Fort Wayne received 5.7 inches of snow while South Bend saw nine inches of snowfall.

Windy conditions will continue Sunday, and another one to five inches are predicted across the area, with much of that expected to affect areas north of Warsaw, the weather service said.

Regionally, lake-effect snow will develop this morning and continue throughout the day, causing travel impacts to persist, the weather service said.

Wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph are expected for the remainder of the day.

The storm warning remains in effect for southwest Lower Michigan and northern Indiana through 7 p.m. 

Temperatures will fall into the upper 20s this morning and could lead to some re-freezing of melted snow on roadways. Patchy drifting snow is also possible. Some roads are also likely snow covered from the heavy snowfall yesterday.

Motorists should be alert for slick road conditions, the weather service said.

Police reported a large number of accidents and slide-offs, but no fatal crashes were reported as of early Sunday morning.

Some businesses closed early Saturday, and some Sunday church services were announced overnight.
