Second Annual Andy Jam set for Saturday at The Barn

MUSKINGUM COUNTY, Ohio- The second annual Andy Jam is taking place Saturday from noon to 11 p.m. at The Barn.

Seven different performers will be there for the music festival. The fundraiser will help collect funds for the Andy Quinn Scholarship, supported by NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) Six County.

“This is one way that we can remember my son. He was an unforgettable character and he deserves to be remembered… After my son died, people contacted me that I never met to let me know that he had taken time when they really needed someone to listen to them. He would spend time talking to them and support them. At a time they really needed it and that’s just who he was,” Father and Event Organizer, Paul Quinn.

Prior to his passing, Andy Quinn wanted to pursue a career as a police officer. The scholarship in his name will support students at the Zane State Police Academy. Last year, Andy Jam raised $1,500 

“Of course Paul does a lot here so we want to do anything to help him out and raise some money for the scholarship and your benefit,” The Barn Manager Jessica Paynter said.

NAMI Six County is an organization that advocates for those affected by mental illness. Monetary collections will be accepted at Andy Jam.
