Running With Scissors announces their retirement!
To our dear friends, family and fans...
The girls of Running With Scissors have decided to holster their scissors and cut loose! It’s been a slice and a helluva run! We could run on-and-on but, to cut to the chase, our love for each other and for ringing chords together has been a cut above!
Our last cutting edge performance was at the Orangeville Chorus 60s show and dance on
Our last cutting edge performance was at the Orangeville Chorus 60s show and dance on

Thank you, OC!
