WALKERTON, ON. - A concert created to help the town of Walkerton, Ont., recover from a deadly contaminated water outbreak is growing into a major annual event.

Watershed Four, set for next August, will feature performances from ZZ Top, Bryan Adams, Travis Tritt, Our Lady Peace, Peter Frampton and Martina McBride.

Organizers say at least six more artists will be added to the concert.

Profits from food and drink sales during the weekend-long event will go towards local service clubs and Walkerton Minor Sports.

Walkerton Mayor Dave Thomson says the annual concert gives the community a "real lift."

"This event brings a lot of attention to a town which has seen some very hard times," he said.

Watershed started three years ago to help the town rebuild after the E. coli outbreak that killed seven people and made 2,300 ill.
