Collin Raye and the '12 Dogs of Christmas'

Nashville, TN. (Top40-Charts/ Collin Raye Official Website) - Collin Raye brought his Family Christmas Tour to Idaho Falls Civic Center in Idaho , Falls, Idaho on Thursday, December 7th, and he brought more than just his recognizable voice. Not only did Raye perform with a symphony orchestra, but he also had the help of some of the local, younger fans.

During the concert, Raye enlisted the help of 12 local children to help sing 'The 12 Dogs Of Christmas.' Children ages 3-12 who had previously auditioned as one of their favorite dog breeds, joined Collin on-stage for the parody of 'The 12 Days Of Christmas.'

''The 12 Dogs of Christmas' was originally written by Emma Kragen when she was just seven years old,' Raye said. 'She's now 16 and the book with a CD that came from her efforts has sold 490,000 copies.'

Additional cities Collin plans to visit on the tour include Bakersfield , California ; Santa Rosa , California ; and Ventura , California .
