Thursday, July 2, 2009 — Is it a bird? A plane? A firecracker? No, it's just our beloved time-traveling space alien, Jenneira. Yesterday, Jenneira trickled down in a spiral of blue and pink pixie dust, landing right outside of Wearhouse and causing quite the stir. One surprised onlooker ran for cover. Others cheered, assuming it was the fireworks show, starting early.

Jenneira has a habit of flying into Millsberry this time every year because she simply loves the Fourth of July! She told us she was at Wearhouse to pick up a costume for the holiday celebration. And right now is the perfect time to pick up some new patriotic pieces around town, including Statue of Liberty get-ups and star-spangled swimsuits at Wearhouse, flag doors from the Furniture Store, and a founding-fathers wig from Tania's Hair Salon. The perfect place to wear some of these purchases will be Lake Sylvane, where there'll be a live taping of the fireworks display!
