Idol alumni Mandisa and George Huff are teaming up to make this Christmas one to remember for the residents of Salinas, California. They will be headlining the third annual "Christmas on Main Street" concert from Dec. 7 through Dec. 9 and then Dec.9 and Dec. 14-Dec. 16 at the First Presbyterian Church in Salinas. As reported in the Salinas Californian, this 4-year-old event will feature an impressive 25-piece professional orchestra and band as well as state-of-the-art sound and lighting.

"It's an inspirational show," said church director John Griffing to the Californian. "It's a great place for people to come - people who don't typically feel comfortable going to a church but want an uplifting Christmas event."

The church's own vocalists won't perform, leaving the entire show to Mandisa and George Huff, who performed at the church's variety show last year. The buzz about this event has been so huge that organizers are expecting upwards of 10,000 people to attend, 3,000 more than last year.
