The Great Lakes Bay Regional Wellness Alliance to host "Rewind in the Winter" on Thursday January 26 2012.

The event will be held at the historic Scottish Rite Masonic Ballroom, located at 614 Center Avenue in Downtown Bay City. There will be a wine and beer tasting as well as a silent auction.

Old City Hall Restaurant will be catering Hor D' Oeuvres for the evening. All proceeds raised from the event will be donated to local charities and used to help fund local health fairs that will screen blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.

Dave Dittenber, (Pictured at Right) owner at Old City Hall is spearheading the event. "This is our first Winter Rewind," Dittenber said. Dittenber went on to explain that there have been two successful summer events -- Rewind by the River 2010 & 2011 -- held at the Wenonah Band Shell in Bay City.

The Mega 80's Band is very popular in the Great Lakes Bay Area," Dittenber went on to say. "We're hoping to have a huge fun event at the Masonic Ballroom to raise some money for charity and maybe make the Winter go by a little faster," Dittenber went on to say.

Audiences can look forward to popular 80's hit songs performed by Hour Magazine's band of the year, the Mega 80's. The Mega 80's ignite crowds with their stage performance linked to an 80's themed multi-media show, which is projected on a 20-foot screen as the band jams out.

There will be VIP Tables for sale as well as a Silent Auction during the event.

General Admission tickets are $25 per ticket. Event Time: 5:30PM - 11:00PM Please contact Tony Jeske for more information at 989-493-9359 or tonyjeske@oldcityhallrestaurant.com
