The Marvelous Wonderettes are the entertainers at Harper’s Hardware Holiday Party and like every year, Mr. Harper is scheduled to pass out the employee bonuses. When Mr. Harper doesn’t show, one of the girls goes to find him, but instead finds what she thinks are the bonuses, but they’re not and everyone is in for a big surprise! The 60s style holiday songs include Santa Baby, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Jingle Bell Rock, Winter Wonderland and more.
It’s our Anniversary!
It’s been two years since Wine, Dine & Finds had our very first Meetup at Fathoms Restaurant and Bar in Cape Coral. I am so proud of our group – and so grateful for all of the friendships made. I cannot wait to go back to where it all began. I hope everyone can make it!
