Ashlee Hewitt returned to her hometown this week to perform at a benefit concert for her former boss, who sadly, is suffering from a kidney disease.  Today, the Grand Forks Herald had an article on her homecoming:

LANCASTER, Minn. — Ashlee Hewitt still needs work on acting like a celebrity.

 

Instead of a limousine, she arrived at her welcome-home public appearance Wednesday in a wagon pulled by two Percheron draft horses. Instead of having handlers deal with autograph-seekers and protect her bare shoulders from a driving rain, she had only herself and her Mary Poppins-sized umbrella for protection.

And instead of the glim and glamour of network television, her performance came on a portable stage that was decorated with a cowboy-boot planter containing a wildflower that locals call “swamp grass.”
