The town of Lander threw Wendy her very own parade on Wednesday, the Sheriff and Fire Department lead her from one side of town to the other until they reached Lander High School where Wendy spoke to the students. Sirens blared and people gathered on Main Street to cheer Wendy on as she drove by. Wendy wore her Pedigree bib and cap and sat in the front of the fire engine, waving to all of us, her fans.
Yeah Wendy- way to go!!!
