Murder and Mystery occurred last night at Hawthorne House Bed and Breakfast for the Christmas Party for the HBS.

Four's Company provided the murder suspects in the story of a gangster murder in a 1920's Speakeasy bar in Chicago.

Was the murderer Bunny Hugg the Singer, Bonnie Enclyde the headline act, the bouncer Tony Tortilini, the bar man Harvey Wallbanger, the Politician Sly Shyster, his fiancee Candy Stealer, or the accountant Robin Folks?

A very shady bunch with many possible murder weapons and motives.
A fantastic night was had by all with many ad-libbing opportunities and laughs. 
Thanks to Mike and Mel from Hawthorne House and we look forward to doing this again in the future.

Shoppers gathered around yesterday morning as the Four's Company Performance Choir serenaded the centre of Hastings City with Christmas Carols and Songs.

With Christmas classics such as 'Away in a Manger' and 'Joy to the World', along with some more contemporary tunes like 'Where are you Christmas?' and "Hallelujah' the Shoppers had plenty of variety to listen too.

We also had special requests as well as people singing along. There were also some cute Christmas Fairy's, Reindeer and Elves from the Born to Move Dancers who helped give out candy canes and Christmas Cheer during the morning.

We will be doing this again every December Saturday in the lead up to Christmas, so come and get into the spirit of things while you shop and have a listen. You may even hear a song or two from the Gift of Christmas Concert on the 22nd and 23rd of December.
