HOWIE BAGLEY'S BIG DAY
REDDING RODEO PARADE, May 16, 1998
FIRST PLACE WINNER (2 axels)
Entered in the name of RIVERCITY JAZZ SOCIETY

Now, you really need to know this story... of boundless determination and ditto imagination, fortitude, and ingenious know-how! Howie's mind is fertile ... through some head-scratching along with diagrams and charts, his thoughts are soon transformed into reality.

This doesn't happen overnight.

He spent at least two months building his float ... (in the name of RIVERCITY JAZZ SOCIETY) ... and HE DOES IT BY HIMSELF! This Rivercity Jazz Society float was "motorized" by HIS legs - no use of a wimpy flatbed truck here! By the next day, his feet had eventually stopped bleeding.

Although, you know what? Wanna' bet he could still "hear" the applause of the crowd even then?

P.S. No Bull! Check out the enviable (!) great set of teeth on those bulls!
