Down The Line 5 2 19 2011
Down The Line 5 is a musical night aptly titled “Legends from Locals.” This yearly event, (5 meaning the fifth year this has been done) is one of the major fund raisers for the Embassy Theater Foundation of Fort Wayne. The Down the Line Series has raised over $90,000.00 (ninety thousand dollars) in the last four years it has been in existence, and the last 2 years have been sold out shows. That is a testament to the wealth of talent in north east Indiana and this year is no exception.
