The ground was a little wet from the afternoon rains, but it didn't dampen the spirits of the crowd that came out to enjoy
Rewind By The River, Friday, July 27, 2012.
Held in Downtown Bay City's Wenonah Park, the 2nd summer music festival drew 80's music enthusiasts from all over the area, for a night of great entertainment under the stars.
The free concert is the second annual charity concert put in effect by Great Lakes Bay Regional Wellness Alliance. All proceeds of the concert will go back to local charity groups and downtown preservation.

The event, organized by Old City Hall Restaurant, may have had owner Dave Dittenber and Manager, Tony Jeske, watching dark skies during the afternoon, but were ultimately pleased at the crowd in the park after the break in the rain.
