Shirley's BRAdway Show Brings Lots of Laughs to Crookston
December 30, 2009
Shirley's BRAdway Show, put on by Shirley Reitmeier and friends, drew a sold out crowd of around 375 people to Northland Inn Friday evening. The event wildly exceeded her goal of $4,000, raising $10,000 to benefit cancer research. The comedy show featured three “Big Divas” – comedians from the Twin Cities area – with Reneé Wall Rongen serving as emcee.
The event also collected an array of hundreds of bras for " Bras for a Cause,” where they'll be hooked together to form streamers that hang down the side of the Eagle Drug building in commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month for two weeks in October.
