Chit! Rocks Smuggler’s Run
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign is a holiday tradition we’re all very well aware of. On Saturday night in Wyandotte, there was another push to hit the Red Kettle campaign’s $7.9 million goal. With two of Detroit’s great bands on the stage, fun was had by all.
The dance floor was filled with smiles as the band Chit! provided a set list of rocking favorites. KISS, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, and more kept the fun and excitement going. Plus, the fun shenanigans that come with watching a Chit! show. With their social horns, rubber duck and bubbles it was an amazing atmosphere!
