Kiwanis Club of Plymouth to Unveil New Popcorn Wagon at Friday Night Concert

The new wagon will debut during Friday's Music in the Air concert at Kellogg Park.

When the Music in the Air concert series kicks off in Kellogg Park Friday night, concert-goers may see a new addition in the form of a shiny new red popcorn wagon. After 25 years of service, the Kiwanis Club of Plymouth has finally decided to retire its popcorn wagon, which has been around since 1988. Craig Jagger, Kiwanis Club of Plymouth Treasurer said the old wagon was really tired.  "We bought it used and its been used every summer for 25 years," Jagger said. "Just like vehicles and mobile homes, it gets to the point where in order to serve customers efficiently, we needed to update it. And the wagon was a wagon - we wanted to keep the same feel.

Photos: Steve King and the Dittilies Rock Kellogg Park in Plymouth

Despite soaring temperatures, local favorites draw large crowd to Kellogg Park.

Thousands of music fans braved the sweltering heat Friday night to watch local favorites Steve King and the Dittilies perform hits from the 1960s and '70s at Kellogg Park in downtown Plymouth.
