Seattle (July 31, 2008) – If 10-year-old Gary Yost of Tacoma is not outdoors casting a line into the closest lake or river, he can most likely be caught indoors glued to the TV – hook, line and sinker – watching his favorite show: the Discovery Channel’s World’s Deadliest Catch.

Grand Marshall & VIP Platform
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.
