The event will culminate with a throwback rockabilly-style holiday concert with the Wynotte Sisters at the Roxbury Arts Group with a show time of 7:30 pm. Tickets for the Wynotte Sisters only (without the Soup & Sip event) are free and require reservations. Join in the community holiday season celebra- tions by securing your tickets for both the Soup & Sip and the Wynotte Sisters at Roxbury Wine and Spirits, Roxbury General Store or online at roxburyartsgroup.org The Wynotte Sisters are Vibeke Saugestad, Daria Grace, and Sara Milonovich … and no, they are not actually sisters. The three be- came friends and collaborators while living in the Hudson Valley city of Beacon. Each of the members of the group have been perform- ing for many years with an assortment of bands and genres. Their varied tastes led them to have a great time collaborating with one another. A couple of years ago they started talking about putting together a funky and fun holiday show and when they asked them- selves if they should … they came to one conclusion: Why not? The Wynotte Sisters were born! The show is lively, fun, a throw back and something new! The performance is at 7:30 pm. Folks can reserve a ticket just for the show or receive the “complimentary ticket” that comes with the purchase of a Soup & Sip ticket. Over a dozen Roxbury businesses and organizations will serve up soups and sips from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, warming ticket holders as they stroll through town, admiring the holiday decorations on Main Street. At 7:00, strollers will head over to the Roxbury Arts Group to vote for their favorite soup and enjoy a cookie buffet before heading into the Roxbury Arts Group hall for a the Wynotte Sisters concert. The Soup & Sip event stroll begins at 5:00 pm and the tickets, $30.00 each or two for $50.00, can be purchased online at rox- buryartsgroup.org or the brick and mortar locations of Roxbury Wine and Spirits or at the Roxbury General
