us at IE extend our most heartfelt care and concern for victims
of the California wildfires. Here in San Diego, and elsewhere
around the state, it has been devastating to watch our foothills
and neighborhoods go up in flames. Our prayers are with the
thousands of people that have been affected by this terrible
disaster.

Run

IE Production
Managers Brian Sharp, Amy Gale, and Rigger/Performer Steve
Gale got “down and dirty” in the infamous San
Diego “Mud Run” held at the US Marine Corps’
Camp Pendleton. The challenging 10K course includes mud holes
and obstacle courses that put even the fittest competitors
to a grueling test. Amy and Brian both finished near the top
of their groups. Here they are, basking in the glory of their
muddiness!
