Gallagher Visits Big Frog, Utica Zoo and Utica Aud [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

Gallagher the comedian is town to help spread a little holiday cheer for the children in central New York. He's part of the Christmas Bash tomorrow night to collect toys for kids in the Mohawk Valley. While here, Gallagher took in some of the attractions our area has to offer, including spending the morning with Tad and myself.

Gallagher spent the day at the Utica Zoo making new hammers and feeding watermelon to the lions.

Gallagher performs at the Radisson hotel in Utica Friday, December 12th. 'It’s a night filled with entertainment. When you add the music and local talent also performing, it turns into an amazing night that we hope will inspire people to bring out toys,' says WIBX's Bill Keeler.

Admission for the event from 7pm-11pm is a donation to the WIBX Toy Drive. All toys collected will benefit kids right here in the Mohawk Valley.
