Rock The Park Welcomes REO Speedwagon

Big news for one of the biggest annual events in Columbus, as REO Speedwagon will be headlining this year's "Rock The Park" event.

Arthur Smith, with the Columbus Area Arts Council, says the annual concert is a way to engage Mill Race Park with local residents. Last year, Smith says over 7,000 turned out for "Rock The Park" featuring the band Foreigner.

"Rock The Park" will be held Saturday night, August 17. Tickets will go on sale June 17.
