Both stuffed toys were available this weekend at Watertown Square shopping stores as hundreds of holiday shoppers flocked to the stores to make a purchase. The first craze began Saturday morning at Mimi's Hallmark when beanies went on sale at 8 a.m. More than 400 Beanie Babies marketed by the Ty Corporation were sold at the store throughout the day.
America's mightiest satellite, an 8,800 pound Atlas intercontinental missile majestically circled the earth today and was believed ready to broadcast a recorded message by President Eisenhower.
