Perfect October day for Adrian Fall Festival

FRONT AND CENTER musical entertainment by recording artist Jeremy Cato and his 6
member entourage. In speaking to Cato during intermission, he expressed his sincere
gratitude to the city of Adrian, and specifically to the Adrian Fire Department as his
performance (note fire boots on stage) was dedicated to raising money for AFD. Kato
publicly thanked Chief Gary Dizney and the crew for their ongoing mission of helping
keep our community safe.  Cato provided 2 hours of country, oldies and some gospel
favorites- his second CD will be out soon, which will include all original material. You
