(KAIR)--Although the winter holiday season is underway, thoughts turn to summer as the lineup for Atchison's annual LakeFest country music concert is announced.

Held each July as the kick-off for the city's Amelia Earhart Festival, held in honor of the famous, one time resident, the Warnock Lake based concert on July 14 will be headlined by Big and Rich. Consisting of singer/songwriters Jon Rich and “Big” Kenny Alphin, the pair was launched to fame in 2004 with the release of their song, “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).”

According to the official LakeFest Facebook page, the high energy duo will hit the stage following a performance by Cam, the single-named country music artist known for such hits as “Burning House” and “Mayday.”

Opening the 2017 LakeFest concert will be singer/songwriter Erik Dylan, a native of Muscotah.

Although tickets aren't officially on sale yet, the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce traditionally offers gift certificates for $25.00 as a way to give tickets as Christmas gifts..

The July 14 concert will again be followed the next day with a celebration of famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart, with Atchison commemorating the distinction of having been her birthplace.
