SCRIBBLES BATTLE OF THE BEST S5 – ROUND 11 / CASEY OR FINNEGAN from MR. DRESSUP SHOW
I remember when my family relocated from the Ottawa Valley to Peterborough, the neighbours had cable TV and I was introduced to cable TV and Saturday Morning cartoons. I was 9 or 10 years old when I made this mind blowing discovery, up until then I had lived in Renfrew with only 2-3 TV channels to choose from. There were even less shows for kids.
I remember watching Chez Helene and The Friendly Giant, but it was the Mr. Dressup Show I liked the most. Mr. Dressup’s buddies were Casey & Finnegan and they were the main reason I enjoyed the show.
In later seasons of the series, Casey & Finnegan were replaced with new puppet pals for Mr. D. But for this battle round, we want to know if you are Team Casey or Team Finnegan?
Vote now for the one you like best.
NEXT ROUND WED. - PLAY BALL!!!

I saw a lot of familiar faces participating and it was great to also see some new friends playing too.

PASSAGES | We Remember Jim Farquharson
PASSAGES | A Remarkable Guy
Even if you didn't know Dale, you might find Dale's tale very interesting. I was unaware of all the amazing things Dale did and all the people he interacted with.
Dale was such a positive soul, with a "can do" attitude. And why wouldn't he be? He was raised by the best mothers a child could get Ginny & Michelle. He had siblings Charlie and Nathanial, who supported their brother unconditionally. There was a whole lotta love at Dale's home...there still is.
When he began going to Arthur Day Middle School people really started to see him for who he was, a cheeky, stinky, focused and determined young individual. That's where his love of sports exploded. In the gym dressed as a goalie, he loved to be included in the game, enjoying every moment with his peers. Dale was the epitome of a “good spectator”. Ringing cowbells, cheering at the top of his lungs, making everyone feel like he was their biggest fan.
