Since age 5, Rebekah Ginda recalled, "I've said I wanted to be a clown." After moving to Seattle in 2001, Ginda took up with Cirque de Flambé, and she thought her ambitions fully realized. How could she know she'd just begun?For Katherine Bragdon, "I saw him leading the [Fremont Arts Council Solstice] Parade back in 1995. It truly was a love-at-first-sight crush." Hearing the story umpteen times, a girlfriend jokingly dismissed the object of Bragdon's affections as "theater trash." But, when Katherine spotted her heartthrob around town, at Whole Foods and while collecting signatures for a petition, she thought of him by this nickname.At the Moisture Festival, the annual three-week vaudevillian showcase of comedy and variety performances held at Hale's Palladium (4301 Leary Way N.), love - and marriage - came to both women. It was friendship and the camaraderie among cast and crew that made it possible.

J.P. Patches pals will have a new monument dedicated to their childhood hero in Fremont this summer. The J.P. Patches Foundation unveiled a bronze statue of him March 6 in Olympia, with Gov. Christine Gregiore in attendance.The statue depicts Patches (played by Chris Wedes) and his co-host Gertrude, (Bob Newman) running in opposite directions as if late for an appointment. The statue also includes various artifacts from the show, including a likeness of the ICU2 TV set, which will act as a piggy bank. Donations left in the statue, as well as any left-over funds from the project, will benefit Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center in Sand Point, Wedes' favorite charity.The statue is scheduled to be completed and installed in Fremont by mid-summer at North 34th Street and Fremont Avenue North, about 75 yards east of the "Waiting for the Interurban" statue. It will be visible from the street and close to the Burke-Gilman Trail."I'm thrilled down to the 6-year-old inside of me," said Kevin Pettelle, sculptor for the project. "It's just very exciting."
