Thank you to the roughly 40 volunteers who join us for Edina's 4th of July Parade, held on July 3rd.  We were also joined by MN Rep. Greg Boe (R, Chaska), David Pascoe (MN GOP Secretary), Cicely Davis (SD59 Chair), Allen Shen (Vice Chair, Asian American Republicans Affiliate), Kim Crockett (CD3 Republicans Vice Chair), and Patty Piatz (producer, Republican Roundtable). Republicans from Edina and Bloomington were numerous, we were pleased to be supplemented by our friends from Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Excelsior, Roseville, and Carver County.

A special thanks goes out to Carol Kerr and her red convertible (with inflated elephant) and John Ward and his vintage red Mustang convertible for helping us make an impact with their vehicles..

Thanks also to Scott Jensen, candidate for Minnesota Governor, his wife Mary, and their ardent campaign supporters who joined us in our walk through Edina.  Scott personally greeted many of the people, and most of the dogs, watching as we passed by.

It was a great day to talk politics with friends and enjoy sunshine.
