When Rain Price, a 15-year-old Utah high school student, first boarded the bus to his new school, his father, Dale Price, came out to wave to his son. The teenager was embarrassed, because his classmates might consider him not old enough, and the boy asked his dad not to do this again ...
But the cheerful father not only did not obey his son, but decided to go to the bus every day, dressed up in a carnival costume. Now all the classmates of Rain, who is already 18, every morning are looking forward to what else the restless Dale will come up with.
The costumes have never been repeated; in total, Dale's collection now has about 170 costumes. Dale makes them himself from improvised material or borrows from neighbors and acquaintances. According to him, no suit has ever cost him more than $50. Also, the “carnival dad” started the Wave the Bus blog, in which he posts pictures of all his outfits.
