Our democratic candidates will participate in the Parkville 4th of July parade.  This is a very big parade and very important exposure for the candidates.  You and your family are invited and encouraged to join in the parade, either as walkers for a specific candidate or as a group of Democrats in Action. The walkers will hand out literature for the candidates or candy for the kids.
The parade will start at 10:00am but the line up will begin at 9:00am at 63rd & Bell Rd.  Bell is the first road after the shopping center at 45 & 9 Hwy and 63rd is the street by the Sonic.  There will be a person who will direct you at the intersection.  
The parade theme is “Goin” Green on Main” and all participant s are asked to dress accordingly.  However, we will be in a political red/white/blue theme with flags and banners.  I hope you can join us.  If you have any questions, please contact me at 816-741-9639  or mbaier@kc.rr.com.
After the parade, the Democrats in Action are hosting an open house for the candidates and walkers at the Platte County Democratic Headquarters.  Again, you and your families are invited.  Light refreshments will be served.
