Parade, Fair, and Campaigns!

OMG! The Sunfair Parade is this Saturday!

Help make this the biggest turnout of Democrats EVER in the Sunfair Parade. Ana Ruiz Kennedy, candidate for WA State House of Reps, and her crew will be joining us. We have a beautiful blue truck with a large, two-sided sign mounted in the bed. There will be a limited number of signs provided so please feel free to make/bring your own featuring your favorite candidate, issue, slogan. This is going to be epic!

Get out those walking shoes and join us!

Saturday, September 21, 2024
Arrive by 8:00 a.m. Parking will be scarce and a much longer walk to the staging area if you arrive after 8:00. The parade begins at 10:00 a.m.
The staging is South 16^th Ave between Tieton Drive and McLaren on the west side of 16^th Ave. We are entry #61 and will be lined up between Rod’s House and Selah Middle School Band.
The parade route is from 16^th Ave, down Yakima Ave, ending on Naches Ave. Make a plan to get back to your vehicle—which is easy if you bring a crew with you! Children welcome (yes, you can bring wagons and strollers). There will be water bottles in the truck for our parade participants.
We are not using noise makers or playing music (don’t want to interfere with Selah Middle School Band) or handing out candy (would require 40 jumbo size bags of candy).
No need to sign up or register—mark your calendar and we’ll see you there!

Shifts at the Yakima County Democrats Fair Booth are still available

Sign up HERE

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!

You can enjoy the rest of the fair before or after your shift

The booth will be stocked with all varieties of campaign materials, information about voting and how to become involved with Yakima Dems, and election swag for sale. Emails with all the pertinent information—where to pick up your ticket(s), which gate to enter, where the booth is located, swag we’re selling, etc.—will begin tomorrow to those who sign up for a shift. You can continue to sign up for unfilled shifts during the fair (Sept. 20-29). We greatly appreciate all the volunteers!!!
