Chris Herrod

Mr. Six String

I want to be Mr. Healdsburg because Mike Bairdsmith told me I would be a good candidate and he is much, much bigger than me. Seriously, I was born and raised in Healdsburg --I love this town and I love the theater. Plus I look great in a sash. I work for a company that supplies exotic woods and tools to guitar makers. I married Geyserville native Briana Byrd 6 years ago and have two amazing sons; Arlo 5 and Henry 3 --all of whom love and support the Raven Theater! I am interested in politics, Buddhism and philosophy in general and I am a great fan of our local wine and beer industries. My greatest joy these days is writing and performing my songs and wrestling with my boys!

Intriguing Facts: I was born in the old hospital on Johnson St. I once spent a month living on a naked, new age commune. I have never had a cavity. I used to play in a rap band: the notorious Rapsputin! I once worked as a hypnotherapist.

Poss Pragoff

Mr. Wrinkly Realtor

Why do I want to be Mr. Healdsburg? I don’t. But they begged me to bring my charisma, vibrant personality, and manifold skills to lift the intellectual tone of the event. In a weak moment, I succumbed. Authored the best-selling novel "Down to the Wire." Was the political director of the Pat Paulsen for President campaign in 1968, and am the lead singer in the trio "Cocktail Frank & the Twin Wrinklies."

Intriguing Fact: Descended from Captain Samuel Postlethwaite who served under George Washington in the American Revolutionary War.
