Meanwhile, two college students meet a new friend who enjoys sharing memories of growing up in Winona as the three spend quality time in the abandoned old courthouse.Filled with humor and musical numbers, this delightful dramedy provides nostalgia and conveys a sense of patriotic pride for every American.
