The Grand Marshals have been announced for the 2012 Greeley Stampede, which just happens to be the 90th anniversary of the event.
Some days our job is really cool. Yesterday a giant painted bus rolled up to K99 and inside was singer/songwriter D Vincent Williams. Brian and I got to go on the bus for a private mini-concert.
