Winter Wonderettes

by Roger Bean Nov. 17-Dec. 23

The Harper’s Hardware Holiday party of 1968 will be an event to remember as the “Marvelous Wonderettes” plan a reunion performance guaranteed to have even Scrooge whistling Jingle Bells.  Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy formed a singing group to perform at their senior prom and after ten years they’re back and ready to take the annual Harper’s Hardware Holiday Party by storm.  The group performs an eclectic selection of holiday songs including classics like “Winter Wonderland”, “Little Saint Nick” and “Jingle Bell Rock”.  “Toonful tinsel tootsies: It got my mistletoe motivated!  ‘Winter Wonderettes’ is a delightful way to get your holidays started.”-Milwaukee’s Vital Source.
