Marching proudly on July 4 weekend

The LOW Democratic Club on the march

A large and enthusiastic crowd of club members and friends marched together in the annual Lake of the Woods Fourth of July Parade on July 2, showing their support for State Sen. Edd Houck and the fine job he is doing as our representative in Richmond.

Shirley Pfile was chair of the parade-organizing committee, which consisted of Chris Carr, Lois Powell, Betty Beck, Sharon Allen and Kerry Sipe.

George Beck drove his truck, festooned with flags, decorations and banners, and pulling a trailer with Uncle Sam riding a shiny, red special-edition motorcycle.

Lois Powell drove her convertible, from which Sen. Houck waved to an appreciative crowd.

Club members had made homemade signs recognizing Sen. Houck’s service to the Lake of the Woods community, which they carried as they marched under a beautiful blue sky. The youngest members of our group passed out patriotic tattoos to other younsters they passed along the parade route.

The parade, which wound its way along Lakeview Parkway to the Clubhouse from Yorktown Boulevard, stepped off at 10:30 a.m. and was over in time for the beginning of a full afternoon of Independence Day events at Clubhouse Point.

It was a great day to be an American and a great day to be a Democrat.
