Yes, he showed up....The President, George W. Bush....in person. What an exciting day for our little town in the far north state of California. Touching down at the Redding Airprt just after 2 PM, thousands were there to greet him, but unfortanately the tight schedule did not allow for much interaction with the public. All of the state and local politicians stood behind the President as he addressed firefightters and took a good look at the Fire Attack base. Then, after a helicopter tour over the burned areas, he returned to the Airport to honor Boy Scouts active in clearing the Pacific Trail.
At 4:30 PM...off they went as Air Force One headed north out of the airport then turning to the east and south and right over my home in Palo Cedro. What a sight, and what a day.
A first for Redding in that this was the first seated President to visit Redding since John Kennedy when he dedicated Whiskeytown Dam in the early '60's.

President Bush to Visit Redding CA this Thursday
President Bush will be in Redding, CA to see the fires and the damage they have caused this Thursday. The C-17 carrying the helicopters arrived yesterday, along with some support equipment, and the City is preparing for this first visit by President Bush.
In addition to the fires, the President is expected to visit Lake Shasta to get a first hand look at the Martin Mars Water Bomber, a water plane that is used to fight the big fires.
Thanks,
Ron Largent
