Don’t rain on Jen’s parade!
Fans in Pennsylvania found themselves a bit too well-hydrated this morning, as Fox 29’s fan segment welcoming Jen to West Chester found itself at the hands of a morning downpour, as well as a bit of unfortunate timing.
It turns out that Fox 29 morning show Good Day Philadelphia was perhaps a bit too early to catch Jen in action on the set of Marley & Me in West Chester, PA. Camped out in front of Kildare’s Irish Pub on Gay Street, reporter Jennaphr Frederick and her crew braved the rain and chilly temperatures to talk to the fans who did the same. Unfortunately, the scene’s elaborate setup (complete with fake snow) was still underway between the hours of 7 and 9, and the stars are not expected to report to the set until later in the day, as filming is scheduled to extend into the evening. Maybe the after-work crowd will have better luck.
However, Ms. Frederick did manage to get a few words in with fans and passersby, who enjoyed free Smartwater courtesy of Glaceau. Two chairs, with “Jennaphr” and “Jennifer” on the back, were set up across the street from the set, but neither was utilized by its intended recipient during the segment. However, one fan, seated in the “Jennifer” chair, did mention that she had heard about the segment from “a website.” Didn’t name names, though (although the station did kindly link to this blog on their site - thanks!).
Hopefully, fans later in the day will have the opportunity to see Jen and Owen in action – and maybe the weather will be better for them! See video of the segment at Fox 29’s website.
