[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Norway pavilion at Epcot will host Sig Hansen -- one of the featured stars on the popular reality series on The Discovery Channel, "The Deadliest Catch" -- for an in-park appearance July 10-13, 2008. Hansen will appear inside The Puffin's Roost, the pavilion's merchandise location, each day. He will be joined by his brothers, Edgar and Norman Hansen, who also appear on the show.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A fourth-generation Norwegian fisherman, Sig Hansen is the captain of the Northwestern, one of the crab-catching vessels on "The Deadliest Catch." He, Edgar and Norman own and operate the Northwestern. Based in Seattle, Wash., the Hansens have fished together for nearly 20 years.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Hansens' crab-catching skills on the television show also have inspired "Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm," a video game for the Xbox 360 system.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In addition to signing autographs and posing for photos, the Hansens will have Northwestern merchandise for sale during their Epcot appearance.[/FONT]



We are such huge fans of that show! It's the only tv show that we follow religiously and plan a family evening around. I soooo wish my boys could meet these brothers. I know they'd bite the head off a nasty little fishy :animwink: just to meet them. The Northwestern is our favorite. Anyone who goes, please please please let me know how the experience is!

That's pretty neat that they will be in EPCOT - I was just watching that show Sunday nite with my sister. 30 minutes on one of those boats and I'd be all :hurl:. Oh well.

Dunno what I'd do if I met them - guess I'd get my pic taken with them like I do everything else at EPCOT. :lol:

My Husband loves that show! I think that is soo cool that they will be in Epcot! They were just here in our City filming about the fishing industry, we didn't get to see them, I think they were here for a short time!

Huh...I wonder why Epcot.DHS seems more appropriate/needs it.

Sounds cool anyway...I've seen the show a *few* times and though it did look very over-dramatic(Prolly those music cues and crazy pan shots:lol:)it did look good.

They come to Epcot to be at the Norway pavillion b/c they are of Norwegean descent and that is a huge point of pride. (We just missed them last year :brick: - didn't even know that they were going to be there - I was totally bummed!:cry:)

I will be in the World when they are but I don't think I am going to make it a special time to see them. If I happen to by where they are it will be cool, but if not, oh well.

WHAT! What do you mean you're not going to "make it a special time to see them?" If you don't cover this story, then who will?!?! Think about the rest of us who won't be there in person. Whose going to take pictures for the rest of us? You're being very selfish if you ask me. :mad:



:lookaroun



He he, just kidding! :p I understand if you can't make a special trip to see them. Still, it would be nice if someone would be at Epcot and take a couple photos of them.

I don't remember if DD took his picture or not - I'll look and have her post it if she did.

Edit: Checked with her last night, and sorry, no photos.

I've been "lurking" around here for a long time. However saw this thread and had to register and post. My husband is serving as XO (2nd in command) on the USCGC Mellon...up there saving those guys and the others when they need it. Nothing is dramatized, it is really like that up in the Bering Sea. The fishermen and crabbers have no easy job, that is for sure. Neither do the Coast Guard who are there to save their lives.
