Magic and Mayhem

That was the headline in the Marshall Independent last week, talking about our girl!

WALNUT GROVE - A curious 10-year-old girl helped to fill the park at Walnut Grove on Saturday to hear twin sisters Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush talk about their days as the Carrie character on the TV series “Little House on the Prairie.” …

The whole article is here (minus the photos that ran in the paper). She was also mentioned on the evening news in Wisconsin, in our local paper, in the St. Paul Pioneer Press (scroll down), on Minnesota’s WCCO evening news, North Dakota’s KXMC news and countless newspaper and TV reports as the story was picked up by the Associated Press.

When the Greenbush ladies visited last Saturday, they talked about their experiences filming “Little House on the Prairie” and answered questions from the audience. At the end, Victoria was introduced and she went up on stage to ask another question. As a cast member herself (of the play now running), she wanted to know what the girls had done between their scenes. They said they liked to play backgammon and that one of the guys had installed a weight bench that they liked to use too. Afterwards, they hugged her and posed with her for the newspaper editor. They played with her braids, gave her an autographed picture and were very sweet to her.

As we were leaving the park, a woman came chasing after Victoria shouting “Pigtails! Hey Pigtails!”. A confused Victoria stopped to let her catch up. It turns out she was a reporter from Marshall and she wanted to know the whole story. We filled her in and Victoria gave her contact information. In the morning, the reporter called and asked some more questions. She was a neat woman and kept exlaiming, “That is so cool! Awesome! Wow!” as she listened to the story.

Our little superstar is taking it in stride, but she is really tickled by the whole experience.
