Also at noon, a Jazz Quintet from Ball State University, under the direction of Mark Buselli, will perform until 3 p.m. The quintet was able to pencil in this special entertainment for Union City just before they leave on a European tour. Music entertainment is compliments of a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Randolph County.
