The highlight of the event
was the special evening concert presented by John Schlitt.
Schiltt was born in Lincoln
and grew up in Mount Pulaski. He began his singing career with
a local band, the Vinegar Hill's Hometown Band -- Something Different.
He was only 13.
He attended the University of
Illinois and studied civil engineering, but his interest in music
soon led him to join a group called Head East.
In 1986 Schlitt became the
lead singer for the very well known Christian rock band Petra. He stayed with Petra until they disbanded in 2005. He is now a
solo artist, still spreading the word of salvation and the gospel in
his music.
