Hey, the
Iowa State Fair Parade was great yesterday, with a good turn out of
charged and energized Democrats! WooHoo! We had a wonderful reception
by the crowd. We had IUPAT, Boswell's group, Art Small's bridgade, some Women4Kerry, the DFIA crew, and “George Bush” tagging along for a ride home to Texas.
Many thanks to the young man Travis, who leant his time and truck to pull our float. Young Democrats of the future!
If this
is your only parade of the year with us, Thanks Bunches for showing up
and hope you had fun. Thanks for your patience waiting for it to start.
Otherwise, I'll be look forward to y'alls this Labor Day, September
6th, around 9-10am for the same thing but the opposite direction to the
Fairground, E.30th. Whew, you'll have to train for that one, but it's
not any longer than the West Des Moines parade. I'm hoping for that
parade, you can take the time and interact with the bystanders and
crowd by throwing candy or handing out stickers.
