High-energy, foot-tapping country music will fill Mill Race Park on Saturday with Summer Music Fest, a fundraiser for victims of the Marysville tornado.

Many Marysville residents saw their homes severely damaged or destroyed on March 2. Many lost personal items and are still struggling to recoup their losses and rebuild.

Paul and Amanda Arnold of Seymour and Julie Lowe of Columbus decided they wanted to put together a fundraiser after many trips to the area in southern Indiana to help repair homes.

“It just took your breath away,” said Amanda. “It made you thankful it wasn’t you, and your human instincts just kicked in. You wanted to help.”
