Purduettes Fall Break Tour Day 1
Friday, October 06, 2006
The Purduettes took a Fall Break Tour to Cincinnati this year. Day one consisted of two shows at Sycamore Junior High School, a performance at The Seasons Retirement Village, an appearance at the Temple Shalom, and dessert at Graeter’s Ice Cream.

A group of ladies had a late night snack at Wendy’s “walk-through” when we arrived Thursday night.
