Where the Boys Are Again:
Connie Francis plans another beach party
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Jan 30, 2010
"Francis, who lives in South Florida, joined Mayor Jack Seiler and other dignitaries on Friday afternoon to announce the first edition of "Where the Boys Are: Connie Francis' Great American Beach Party."
The city-sponsored event, which Seiler said would offer 'good old-fashioned family fun,' takes place Memorial Day weekend, May 28 and 29, on the same shore where Francis, in the role of Angie, frolicked with her classmates in scenes filmed here.
Seiler said the weekend will feature live music, a classic car show, Spring Break reunions, themed events such as hula parties and beach blanket bingo, and a screening on the beach of the original movie. A publicist for Francis said she will attend many of the festivities."
