Former vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, appeared on the 2nd episode of Jay Leno’s return to the Tonight Show on Tuesday March 2nd. During her visit, the political lightning-rod performed a brief stand-up comedy bit and stated  ”I have been really busy, I’ve picked up a gig in Las Vegas, at the ‘Legends’ show, playing Tina Fey.”  Since her comments about joining Legends as a cast member, the story has garnered a lot of media attention including specific mentions in the Las Vegas Sun and Newsweek. Here is a link to the clip of her comments on the Tonight Show, http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/clips/sarah-palin-part-2/1206108/?__cid=thefilter (approximately 6 minutes mark, 45 seconds before the end of the clip).

Hello All,

I want to give everyone an update regarding the fire and tell you all how much my family appreciates your concerns, kind words, prayers, emails, flowers, cards, and help through this horrible ordeal!  We truly feel loved and KNOW that this is our home!!

As of yesterday afternoon, we learned that SLED and the fire investigators found NO evidence of foul play and looks as if it was an accident.  Permits have been issued to begin the rebuild of both the ice cream store and the beachwear store.  Demolition of what’s left of the building begins on Monday.

The builder is confident that we will be able to reopen in time for the 2009 season.  We are excited and frantically working on floor plans so we can get the ball rolling.  I want to emphasize that we are all doing well and are excited about the NEW Painter’s Ice Cream.  Yes, it was very painful watching our business go up in flames, but that was only a building and no one was injured.  We will be better than ever once the doors open for business.

Thanks again for everything that you all have done for us.  Your prayers have been very soothing to us. 

From my family to yours,

God Bless all,

Steve Fairchild

I originally was going to post the Legends In Concert Operation Baking Gals Team members.  Gals, please forgive me and I am sure you will agree.  I am delaying this to dedicate today’s blog to Steve Fairchild & Family.  We are honored to have this very talented and dedicated gentleman as part of our cast with his tribute to “Garth Brooks”. More importantly we value his genuine love and concern for his family, friends, community and strangers.  It does not stop with Steve, as his wife Anne and daughters Tiffany, Savannah and Madison also touch so many in a unique and spirited way. The Fairchild family experienced a devastating tragedy today, as their family business was destroyed by fire.  We are grateful that there were no injuries but saddened by their “loss” of which represented a true American Family Business with values and genuine customer satisfaction.  Painter’s Ice Cream and the Fairchild Family will move forward and we are here to support them in any way we can.  Our hearts, hands and prayers are here for you.
