Brett Bailes slides in for a run on Saturday night during Post 41’s 9-8 win over the Lansing Reds at Leavenworth County Fairgrounds. Tonganoxie followed that victory with two more to bring its win streak to 11 before falling to the Leavenworth Knights on Monday night.

Point of View

Do you plan on attending the St.Patrick’s festivities Saturday in Tonganoxie?

I like seeing Tongie being festive and all dressed up for the occasion. Along with my family, I will be attending the parade, watching the Wild Women of the Frontier, snarfing up some corn beef and cabbage and listening to the pipes. I’m only Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, and sometimes the weekends before and after. The rest of the time, I’m Scottish and both cultures regard pipes as heavenly. To me, it is also a celebration of spring’s imminent arrival, and the green color carries that message, too.
