Or I could entitle this, “My very hot Sunday at the Fiesta Days Parade.”
Congressman Randy Hultgren greeted guests as they arrived at Plum Garden. Here he talks with McHenry County Republican Chairman Sandra Salgado.
It started at a reception for Congressman Randy Hultgren hosted by Perry Moy, the owner of Plum Garden.
State Senator Pam Althoff and Congressman Randy Hultgren conferred.
Touring the room, I found lots of Republican officials.
Nick Provenzano introduced his employer Congressman Randy Hultgren.
I’ll probably leave some out, but here are the ones I recall:
- State Senator Pam Althoff
- State Rep. candidate Steve Reick.
- McHenry County Board members Tina Hill, Diane Evertsen, Andrew Gasser, Chuck Wheeler, Donna Kurtz, Nick Provenzano, plus County Board member and County Board Chairman candidate Mike Walkup
- County Board candidates Kay Bates and Craig Wilcox
- McHenry Alderman Andy Glab
- Wonder Lake Grade School Board member Bob Anderson
- Algonquin Township Trustee Larry Emery and McHenry Township Trustees Neal Schepler and Gary Barla.
I stepped outside about 1 (with the parade starting at 1:30) and found all sorts of people suffering from the heat.
The Grand Marshall of Fiesta Days, Roger Schneider, was smart enough to ride in an air conditioned car. I had to ask that he lower the window to get this shot.
Pam Althoff and Craig Wilcox were filling candy buckets.

Kay Bates was waiting by her float.

A diminished number of Jack Franks supporters were waiting for the parade’s start.

Right before I turned back to get some more cool air at Plum Garden, a Sheriff’s Deputy pulled up on a motorcycle.
We’ll take a look at the actual parade that tomorrow.
Love the motorcycle without Nygren’s name on it.

Sort of like the Anna May Miller

Land acquisition vote by the
County board.
Sorry watchdog – I do not know her… I just know Jack Franks is not what this county needs.
Why would she wear horns to a county board meeting?
