The 37th Annual Frost Fire Summer Theatre is back on stage this year with “The Marvelous Wonderettes!” to entertain you with songs and nostalgia. The musical comedy by Roger Bean is packed with jukebox hits from the 1950s and 1960s, including “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, “Stupid Cupid”, “Lipstick on Your Collar”, “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me”, “It’s My Party”, and “It’s in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)”. Bean also wrote “Route 66” which was performed at Frost Fire in 2018 and “Life Could Be a Dream” which was the production in 2019. In “The Marvelous Wonderettes!” Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy are four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, the girls serenade us with classic hits. When called upon to perform at their senior prom as a last minute replacement, the girls rally together to entertain their classmates in four-part harmony. In Act II, the Wonderettes reunite to take the stage and perform at their ten-year reunion. We learn about the highs and lows the girls have experienced in the past decade and are charmed to find that no matter what life throws their way, they will conquer it together. “It is a wonderful stroll down memory lane that features some of the most popular female vocalist hits of the 1950’s and

Eight years ago, Monsanto Bayer awarded $5,000

to the Munich City Park. This sparked a mission to replace the old playground equipment before the 50th anniversary. That project has been completed as well as resurfacing the tennis court (pickleball anyone?) and a few other improvements. Entertainment will follow lunch with speakers Mayor Craig Schommer and Richard Ritter, one of the original park board members that started the city park 50 years ago. Peter Foss will highlight the afternoon festivities with an hour of comedy. There will be children’s T-ball and kickball at the ball diamond

Tour de Rendezvous Region event coming up The Rendezvous Region in northeastern North Dakota offers many spaces, roadways, and trails in Park River, Grafton, Cavalier, Langdon, Walhalla, and Icelandic State Park for the cycling enthusiast. Low traffic and excellent roads throughout the region make for great cross-country bike trips when planting or harvesting is not active. The Tour de Rendezvous Region is a summer cycling event that started in 2017 as a way to promote t o u r ism and showcase the beauty and outdoor activities in the area. Past participants have been from Minnesota, Canada, and all around North Dakota, including Bismarck, Fargo, and Grand Forks. “If you have not biked on the open highways, you should definitely try it,” said Tour organizer Nathan Smith. “It’s pretty cool to be surrounded by green fields and just the sound of nature!” This year the Tour de Rendezvous Region will be held on Saturday, June 26, starting at 10:00 a.m. There will be a 32mile route and a 60-mile route. Both routes will begin and end

at Boyd Block at the intersection of 3rd Street and 8th Avenue in Langdon. The 32-mile route will go from Langdon to the Canadian Border and back. The 60-mile route will do the same and then continue on to Nekoma and back. Water, energy bars, granola bars, and bananas will be available along the routes. “Boyd Block should be a great start and finish area to eat and grab a beer at the E a g l e s ,” said Smith. Langdon Eagles will be selling sloppy joes and hot ham and cheese sandwiches after the ride. Smith’s sister, Heather, is providing homemade monster cookies! Smith advises beginners to get used to sitting in a bike seat for an extended period of time before going on a long ride. He said that if you can avoid the discomfort of the seat, it makes for a much better ride! You can start with the shorter ride, and if you feel up to it, you can attempt to do the longer route. The top three male and female riders for each route will be acknowledged. cont. on page 2
