Chris Young, Jerrod Niemann and Sunny Sweeney rocked the natural amphitheater at Warnock Lake for LakeFest 2012, part of the 15th annual Amelia Earhart Festival in Atchison, Kansas.

Thousands of people turned out for amusement park rides, all manner of musical events, an ice cream social, a historic church service and library-related events.

California artist John Cerney unveiled his new art installation “Amelia Comes Home” along US 73 highway, two miles south of the city.

Coordinator Jacque Pregont says the festival was “very, very successful,” although she had not tallied total sales or admission figures by Sunday afternoon. Pregont says the crowd for Friday night’s concert was one of the biggest in this history of the event.
