Victoria’s Little House Interview
Jul 8th, 2008 by Alicia
Victoria and Daryl joined the Greenbush Twins’ (the girls who played Carrie on the Little House TV series) fan list online together last year when Victoria played Carrie in the local Wilder pageant. Victoria got chatting with them and sent them information about the pageant, and they contacted Walnut Grove and will be coming as special guests. She asked them if she could interview them before their visit and Rachel said yes. Victoria emailed her the questions and Rachel emailed her answers back.
Victoria turned the interview in to our local paper yesterday. The editor said he would like to interview Victoria soon about the whole experience too!
Here’s her interview.
