Weld County should be proud of the fact that we've been able to sustain this kind of event for 25 years.

Really, it's not so much just being the best in the county, but kind of being able to redeem myself after last season, ... I didn't even get to where I was my sophomore year.

I'm proud of the fact that I was able to overcome long odds.

I'm not calling [William] Weld a skunk. But if you get into a certain kind of contest, you get your shoes wet. I'm not going to pick up his challenge. What he would like most in the world is for me to fire back so he could fire back.

[The parade's] just another event for us to be able to have the opportunity to say this is who we are, we're just proud of who we are, ... and not to hurt anyone...not to cause any kind of trouble but to just march around the block.

They had to weld the arms back on twice.
