Hi everyone. This is my first time posting to this thread although I have read along with it all season. Just wanted to report that I attended Crystal Bowersox homecoming event this morning. It was very nice and she looked awesome. Our city had planned a parade for her and then a small concert downtown. Later this evening she was going to sing the national Anthem before the baseball game in our new ballpark. She really is a very pretty girl and made several jokes that the crowd loved. My two grown children and my five year old grandson got interviewed by a reporter doing the local afternoon news. I think that was the best part of the day for them. It really was alot of fun and I can't wait to see it on AI next week. Our fingers are crossed for our hometown girl. We're extremely proud of her.
