Madison, WI – June 2, 2009. All babies born Monday at St. Mary’s were welcomed with an unexpected gift–free lifetime tickets to watch the Mallards. In all, eight babies were born at St. Mary’s Family Birth Center and given free tickets: the children of Monica and Tyler Missall, of Arlington, Lynda and Daniel Ferguson of New Glarus, and Jennifer Rigdon, of Stoughton and five others.

Maynard G. Mallard was on-hand to deliver gift packages to the newborns (pictured below). The parents and babies will be invited to a game later this season for recognition.
