Saturday, November 17th was a big day around our little berg of Madras. Our "Hometown Hero," Jacoby Ellsbury, came home for a parade through town and then a big celebration in the HS gymnasium with approx. 2500 people. By chance it was also a big day for our "In-home hero," Jacob. It was his sixth birthday. The Mayor declared Nov. 17 to be Jacoby Ellsbury Day and we thought it was pretty cool that that is also Jacob's birthday.
Adding to the fun - Allison was on the cover of the Bend Newspaper, The Bulletin, in a picture associated with the Jacoby Ellsbury Parade and Celebration. Check out the article with the following link (its also hyperlinked) and click on the article about Jacoby and then click on the tab next to his picture that says "More Photos" for the picture of Allison: http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Profile=1001&ExpNodes=1001&Category=NEWS01
Jacoby is a product of our town and actually was active in our church when he was younger and now he is the center fielder for the Boston Red Sox and was, arguably, the best player in the World Series. The whole town loves him as you can imagine.
