"Hat Guy"





This is Avtar Gill, aka "Hat Guy" to some people who've seen him but don't know his name.


He generally makes a new hat sign every week and wears it to City Council meetings. The hat messages - im meticulous penmanship - are the 66-year-old's way of expression opinions, advertising festivals, you name it. He used to write directly on the hats, but found the $5-a-hat pricetag too expensive for all his ideas.


He wore this one to a county commission meeting too. He says Sheriff Simon Leis liked the message. He doesn't look very happy in this picture, but he was happy that Leis liked his work.


He promises some interesting hats as the November election nears. We'll show you some of those, too.

Wow! He looks just like my old babysitter when I was a wee lad.

speaking of items which are amusing but totally meaningless, it's the first of the month, so it's time for another installment of Meaningless Drivel called the Monzel Report.

Unless Bradford has been too busy finding other comically unimportant crusades for Ice Cream Boy to tackle.
