BEDFORD— United Way is gearing up to host its 3rd Annual Blue Jean Ball on Thursday, Sept. 18, bringing together community members for an evening of music, food, and fundraising in the heart of the Indiana countryside.

Nashville recording artist Jennifer Mlott will headline the event, performing from 6 to 7 p.m. Her heartfelt lyrics and down-home charm are expected to have attendees dancing in their boots.
Guests will enjoy a BBQ dinner catered by Great White Smoke BBQ, with a choice of pulled pork, pulled chicken, or black bean burgers, plus traditional sides and all the fixings. Bruster’s Ice Cream will be on hand to satisfy sweet cravings.
