"Love is in the air," says Fred Marple, unofficial spokesman for the town of Frost Heaves. "Or maybe that’s just the breeze coming from Homer Andrews’ cow barn. Anyways, we’re going to focus on love, among other things."
The Frost Heaves Players (Ken Sheldon, Kathy Manfre, Beth Signoretti and Dave Nelson) will present music and comedy, including Life’s Little Mystery theatre (examining why people fall in love with the wrong people), the return of Bean Talk, Perfectly Good Products (featuring Elbow Grease, the all-purpose lubricant), Big Dog Home Security Devices, and an update on goings on in Frost Heaves from Fred Marple. The Speed Bumps band returns with classic oldies—usually sounding as good or better than the originals—and the patented "Song on the Spot," an original song based on audience suggestions.
The evening will also include the "Worst Frost Heaves" award, given to the local road judged by voters to be in the worst shape this year. "Everyone talks about the frost heaves, but no one does anything about them," says Fred Marple. "That’s why we decided to have a contest, rather than do something useful, like actually fix them." Go to frostheaves.com to cast your vote and be entered in a drawing for a genuine Frost Heaves T-shirt. "It's the least we could do," says Marple. "We thought about giving away cash or a trip to Bermuda, but we settled on a T-shirt instead because we have a lot of them and they don't cost all that much.")
