Dylan, a songwriter whose songs have been recorded by a who’s who of country music stars, has served as the LakeFest opener in the past. According to the release, Dylan is a fifth generation Kansan who has shared stages with some of the biggest names in music, including Lynyrd Skynyrd.
LakeFest annually serves as the opening highlight of Atchison’s Amelia Earhart Festival, held each July to honor Atchison’s famous one-time resident. The famed aviator was born in Atchison where she lived for a portion of her younger years.
The festival, planned for July 17 and 18, will mark its 24th year.
