September 6th the Grant County Democratic Party will be marching in the Platteville Dairy Days Parade. The parade begins lining up at 8:45 a.m. in the main parking lot of UW-Platteville on Hickory St. This parade is a big deal in those parts. I attended last year and hope to do the same again this year.It would be great if some of our friends in Iowa county could help make for a strong Democratic turnout in the parade. Derrick Van Orden participated in the parade last year – let’s do our part to show him that he’s in for a rough time next year!
Organizers have prohibited overt political signage in the parade, so the Grant Co. party wants anyone who wants to carry a sign to emphasize community values on the order of the following:
Dignity and Justice
Compassion and Commitment
Respect and Diversity
Inclusion and Participation
Transparency and Accountability
