The Bay Arts Council's Wednesday in the Park concert series kicked off its 3rd week with two bands who kept the audience dancing.

The opening band, Sarah and the Grove Project played covers across the blues, jazz and pop circuit. They warmed the audience up for the headlining act, Hotel California, Original Eagles Tribute.

Dorothy Vedrode from Saginaw came to Bay City just for the show. Tina Hilliker and Barb Lowell both from Bay City joined her to enjoy the concert. "We've seen Hotel California a few times and just love them" said Vedrode.

Cheryl Harris and her husband Don are also returning fans. "How exciting it is to have this tribute band come back. We so enjoyed it last year. We wouldn't have missed it for the world" expressed Harris.

If you missed the show you can hear Sarah and the Grove Project on September 8th at the State Theater Street Party at Old City Hall. And be sure to join the Bay Arts Council and a hill full of guests next Wednesday for Lights Concert- A Journey Concert Xperience.

Sarah Schingeck sings lead vocals for Sarah and the Groove project. Other band members include Richard Lay (Keyboard), Matt Douglas (Guitar), Will Jackson (Base), Bo Brines (Drums), and John Anderson (Sax.)




Shade was nowhere to be found in the park so this fan brought her own.








There were many vendors available providing food and other goods. Tim Comtois, Saginaw, displays his sketches and paintings.




Awake the Earth Clothes and Jewelry also offered wares. All items are made from recycled materials.
