This parade truly represents what Aurora is by including everyone.” “I am delighted to be here,” said Casten. “I think this will be the most fun parade this year. I just wish I did not have to wear long pants.” “I am so excited to be here,” said Underwood. “How could we not participate in this inaugural parade. We got all of our friends in the community to walk with us, to show we are inclusive, welcoming and celebrating love. It is hot out here but our hearts are warm.”)
