Let’s keep our Renton River Days Parade fun!
In decades past our Renton River Days parade became a magnet for political campaign entries. And not just local races, but county, and state races as well. The parade occurs right before the primary, and as soon as one candidate entered, their opponents felt compelled to enter the parade to maintain a level playing field. While I appreciate the first amendment as much as anyone, the net effect of so many campaign entries is that children (and probably most of their parents) became antsy and bored at the endless groups walking past with campaign signs.
