I’ve been doing a lot of research on frontier logging for SISTER LUMBERJACK, coming out in January of 2024. When Colleen Moser asked me to write a skit for the Variety Show, she allowed me to choose an historical topic pertinent to Pine River’s early days. Of course, I used my logging research to write a skit entitled TAMARACK DOWN. This twenty-minute skit takes place in a bunkhouse at an early logging camp along the Pine River. It was a fun project and I’ll be front and center for the show tonight and tomorrow night, July 7 at 7pm and July 8 at 5pm. I’ve heard the actors are having great fun with it. Thank you, Colleen and the Sesquicentennial committee, for giving me this opportunity. There are many other acts scheduled for the show. I hope to see you at the Pine River High School. Tickets are $8 at the door.
