We have three opportunities to support our party and encourage people to support the Republican party on Friday, July 4th in our area parades. 

Please consider spending a couple of hours or even the day walking  or riding with our float and helping us reach voters. 

Below is the list of parades, times and meeting locations so we encourage you to pick a time and join in the fun of handing out candy or flags to the kids and adults.  A smile and a wave is all it takes. 

If you have trouble finding the float  you can call or text Jim Fisher at 309-253-3354 for help. 

You’ll be looking for our white truck with banners and a large American Flag flying on the tailgate. 

Lunch provided for walkers who commit to all three parades.  All walkers will also receive a free McLean County Republican T-shirt and cold water for the day. Please sign up for a parade shift to help us prepare. 

Before and after each parade we will need help taking apart or restaging the float for transport.  All helping hands will be appreciated. 

Shift 1  Towanda Parade starts at 10 am with a lineup at 9 am. We will meet at 9 am to decorate the float. Typically, our staging position is right across the                  street from Towanda Elementary School on South East St. 

Shift 2   Downs Parade  Starts at 12pm with line up and staging at 11:00 at the Tri-Valley School Complex on Washington St.  

Shift 3    Chenoa Parade We will enjoy a lunch break in Chenoa as we set up for that parade. Chenoa Parade  Starts at 2:00 pm with a lineup at 1:00. This is a large parade, and you definitely will need to search us out if you are not coming from Downs. We check in at the Water Tower on Division Street, but the lineup is quite a distance away, so you can text Jim Fisher 309-253-3354 to get an exact location of where we line up once we get there.  This is really a great 4th of July parade and worth the effort to take part. 

Please join us for some great exercise, great community building and a focus on why our county is great!

DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR WHICH PARADE YOU WILL ATTEND!  Shift 1- Towanda; Shift 2- Downs; Shift 3- Chenoa
