The KGOP had a Great Showing at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Kalamazoo today. With about 20 marchers the KGOP proceeded through Kalamazoo, showering the 100’s of children with candy, smiles and good cheer. It seemed it was all smiles for everyone on the crisp mid 30’s Sunny Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Young Republicans were represented with Sam Nelson’s Jeep pacing our marchers and with the Chairwoman Sackett waving and sending candy to the children lining the streets. Needless to say everyone was enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had several Veterans marching in green, Brian Kincaid, Karen Williams, and Jason Mikkelborg bringing up the rear with his Truck. And of course our own Harvey Koontz and his son Rich playing Irish music throughout the parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
