Discover the secret of a 40-year friendship as four blue-collar guys work their way from the wrong side of the tracks to the heights of stardom, thrilling audiences with electrifying performances of chart-topping hits including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Oh What a Night,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”

This is a very popular event so please do not be disappointed and get your tickets at the meeting. Last years Buddy Holly Story was a big success. Kings Wharf is an hours drive to Penatanguishene.
