One performance left at the Regina Fringe. As Mary (at least DG's Mary) would say, "Shucks." What a terrific experience this has been. Two sell-outs, so many positive reviews, and the overwhelming support of the Baker clan, or as I call them "Mary's Mafia." Nine of them attended the Saturday afternoon performance, all there more than an hour beforehand to ensure a front row seat. I cannot properly put into words how much it has meant to me to have them in the stands when Malia goes up to bat -- three times already. Mary's greatgrandaughter Zoe stands in the center of the photograph, a catcher herself with a scholarship to a university in Kentucky. Chick celebrated an important birthday this week, and the family flew in to surprise her. It was delightful to be a part of this big secret. Also attending Saturday's performance were Sheila, my cousin Keith, and the Lausch clan. Nice to see you all!
Hats off to the Regina Fringe volunteers, organizers, and fellow performers. It has been a pleasure from beginning to end. Today we pack our gear and get our act together for the trek to Winnipeg, our eastern road swing, We re-open at the Asper Centre on the University of Winnipeg campus on Wednesday at 8: 15 pm. If you're in the Peg, please join us!
