CITY OF WHEATON
— Groups Invited to Register for Independence Day Parade The Wheaton Park District’s Independence Day Parade is back! The City of Wheaton is excited to welcome back this community tradition and encourages community groups, churches and businesses to help make this the best parade yet by being a participant. The parade will be at 11 a.m. Sunday, July 4, marching down Main Street and finishing near Memorial Park. Find out more about registration on the Wheaton Park District’s website, and we will see you at the parade! (DIERSEN: Are political organizations and candidates encouraged to have entries? It would be great if the Wheaton Park District (WPD) would publish its sponsorship policy. Are all sponsors banned, or just DuPage Republicans? Will parade entries include bagpipers and the high school bands, and if not, why not? What parade entries have come in so far? How much money does the WPD have available for paid parade entries? Is it just the $10,000 that the City of Wheaton gave the WPD for paid parade entries? What paid parade entries will be in the parade?)

Ever-increasingly LGBTQ-promoters do everything that they can to destroy Republicans.)
