MY FAIR LADY. I am a local Victoria resident who participated in a show called "My Fair Lady," put on by the Chaska Valley Family Theater. It was held at the Chanhassen High School Auditorium with eight performances. Each show ran approximately 2 hours 30 minutes including a 15 minute intermission.

CELEBRATING A SUCCESSFUL CLOSING. I was out celebrating the successful closing with the Wartman clan at Floyd's in March. It was so much fun working with such wonderful folks like these. The family stories were flying! Julianne's townhome at Field Creek in Victoria now has a new owner.
