Christmas Concert benefitting Toys For Tots of Bay County
December 15, 2013
By: Marcie Cervantes
Once again, State Theatre in Downtown Bay City held the annual Christmas Concert benefitting Toys for Tots of Bay County.
Your host and musical extraordinaire, Dennis Gwizdala brought a show line-up that included Christian Music singer Vickie Atchinson and the Zion Lutheran Band and Choir.
Although the music and songs of the season may have brought tears to most eyes, Dennis's comedy routines brought quite a few chuckles. The theme for the night? Life is good! "Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!" - The Grinch.
Indeed it does, as it was shown in the number of people who came, donated and in return will bring Christmas to children of Bay County.
Although Dennis is a Nashville recording artist, his roots are in Bay City
