Meet Your Clements' Market Baker: 'Cowboy Doug'

Have you met "Cowboy Doug?"

Douglas Pascua, 70, of Newport, not only makes the "fancy doughnuts" at ; he also performs karaoke regularly at Newport's hot spots, enough so that he's been given the nickname "Cowboy Doug." 

Pascua is also well-known around Clements' for his fancy cowboy hat, which sports many ornaments from a parrot, a pig and a pink rose to a button that reads “This Stud’s For You.”

"The biggest thing that stops people is the rubber chicken," he says.
