If you\u2019ve ever felt the energy spike at a Larks game, you\u2019ve likely seen the Touchmark Larkettes in action. They are the heart and soul of our “FUN Done Differently” spirit, proving every night that age is just a number when it comes to being experience-obsessed. This season, we\u2019re shining a spotlight on a true ballpark icon: Janet Rohde.<\/span><\/p>\n Originally from just north of Chicago, Janet\u2019s journey eventually took her to the neon lights of Las Vegas.
