It was like being back in the 1970's recently as Studio 23/The Arts Center hosted a fundraiser "The Dating Game".
Ann Gasta, Studio 23 Executive Director, said "We had a good response, from contestants that entered for free and attendees who purchased tickets to be a part of the studio audience."
Drinks & Hors d'oeuvres were available -- sponsored by OLD CITY HALL. According to Gasta, next they are looking into doing a 'Newlywed' Game Show program.
(Left) The spectacular Show Host was Jack Luna. The show included 4 sessions, grouped in ages in the 20's 30's 40's and 50's.
Winning couples took home a dinner package to Old City Hall located at 814 Saginaw Street in Downtown Bay City.
Old City Hall Manager, Tony Jeske, said, "This is absolutely a great time with a fun partying crowd, the way it should be."
Audience participation was suggested at the end of each session on who they thought out of the 3 contestants should have been picked.
Ann Gasta, Executive Director of Studio 23, was happy with the response to the fund-raising event.
Lots of laughs, clever answers, surprises, definitely a fun time was had by all who attended the recent Dating Game Show held at Studio 23 in Downtown Bay City.
