Float looked great and it was good to see Bob Goodlatte there once again. He is a good Congressman and we must be sure to send him back to Washington. The Democrats were there and I saw the kid that is running against Bob and he was dressed up as Uncle-Sam. You could tell when the Democrat float was coming by when the crowd got silent!
Great parade and BBQ chicken was excellent!
Emmett Hanger looked good and he shook my hand asking how I was doing which was nice. He then stopped to ask my nephew if he wanted candy and spent a good amount of time with the people in my area. He is a good man also and we need to make sure we send him back to Richmond also.
Good coverage rightside---Thankyou.
Parade went well and the Republican Representatives were welcomed by many. It was good to see the Candidates Jeremy Shifflett and Michael Shull welcomed also by the crowd. Both of these guys will be strong County Supervisors and what Augusta County needs.
Always good to see Congressmen Goodlatte and it appears he enjoys this parade. State Senator Hanger did well and was greeted by many also.
Who was the Bozo dressed up like Uncle Sam???
I saw that guy and I think he was with the democrats float. Some girl was walking with a sign with him and he is running for office? He might be the guy that I hear was passing out small American flags at the Staunton parade last week I also hear that the flags were "Made in China"...
Thats o.k., he looked "Plastic" also.
The Democratic Party did field a float this year in the parade and the "Bozo dressed like Uncle-Sam" was with them. He is a young guy running for office and you could tell when they were coming for the crowd got quiet and did not know what to think of their presentation.
By the way, this guy portrayed the "Uncle-Sam" that likes to Tax the money you make and then spend it as he sees fit. Not enough to go around? TAX MORE !!!
Last week he was with democrats float so thats where the "Made in China" flags must have come from. Saw him again with the old people yelling about wanting free healthcare for everybody and anybody. The lady next to us asked if that includded the illegal imogrants and the old lady with the sign got mad and walked off without answering.
I did see that the Augusta Coalition for Peace and Justice were once again in the parade and pushing the Healthcare for all issue. Interesting facts that they do not include when they push that program and working on a post now about that...
