Seafair is pleased to announce our 2008 Grand Marshal… Sig Hansen of the Discovery Channel documentary series Deadliest Catch! Seattle Native Sig Hansen spends his days crab fishing on the Bering Sea of Alaska and has one of the most dangerous professions imaginable. Sig truly encompasses this year’s Parade theme… Amazing Adventure! The Northwestern is also the Featured VIP Platform.
The parade is in early August along 4th Ave in downtown Seattle. Capt Jonathon and Andy (Time Bandit), Capt Keith (The Wizard)and Capt Rick (Early Dawn) there is still time of fun for you, The Seattle Safair Pirates need a Davey Jones (honorary Pirate VIP) which actually gives you more free food and beverage and attention than Grand Marshall.
Along with that Sig will be taking out the Toby Keith Auction Winner this weekend as well as making sure a wish comes true for the “Make a Wish Foundation”. There is also another auction or two in the works with Children’s hospital first and foremost where you too can win a trip on the Northwestern. Steve Pool from KOMO is involved in that auction so it’s gotta be good.
Our Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm Xbox 360 video game has shipped to retailers. From what we have been told, the Xbox 360 game will be on the shelf at Gamestop stores across the U.S.A. next Tuesday. Games are expected to arrive at other major retailers on Tuesday as well. Depending on the local store, the games may be put on the shelf immediately, or it may take a day or two to put on the shelf. Major retailers currently carrying the game include Walmart, Best Buy, and Blockbuster. Call your local store for more information.
