Leaf Shack will rise next year win or lose

Doug Radford

The Radford family of Hanna Rd. has declared the Leaf Shack to have been a total success. Doug Redford, a Toronto paramedic, told The South Bayview Bulldog that the Game 7 turnout to the family’s backyard television theatre attracted at least 70 people, most of whom Mr. Radford says he had never met before. “Next year I’m going to have to extend the back of the tent a little further. It was pretty much standing room only for a lot of people,” said the creator of the Leaf Shack. As reported here the Leaf Shack concept goes back more than a decade and was recreated for this year’s winning season. But, says Radford, there will be another Leaf Shack next year win or lose.
