There was a strong driving rain as I drove from my home down to Clearwater for their weekend parade September 6.  The rain seemed to intensify as I went south towards the Clearwater school where the parade participants were assembling.
 
My opponent, Marcey Gregory and her backers braved the elements for this event too.
 
I was delighted to have some volunteers as well as family members present.  The rain lightened up a bit as the start time arrived.  Despite the weather, there was a strong number of people lining the fairly long and very wet parade route.  The rain tapered off to a drizzle and by the second half of the parade actually stopped.
 
The Peterjohn for County Commissioner campaign distributed a large amount of our campaign flyers as well as candy for the kids.  The Fall campaign season in Sedgwick County has now officially begun now that Labor Day is a pleasant memory.  There are now less than 60 days to November 4, election day.
