Barkhamsted – The annual Independence Day parade in Barkhamsted, CT began at 10:30 A.M. on a beautiful July morning. The usual participants marched along the river waving to the crowd, throwing candy, playing instruments and blasting fire engine horns. The Barkhamsted Republican Town Committee’s Chair, Juliana Simone, and Vice Chair/Board of Selectman, Mark Hemenway carried a patriotic banner that read “Vote Republican!”
The Committee wants to thank State Representative Prasad Srinivasan (R-31) for driving up from his district in Glastonbury to join us and introduce himself to our area voters as a candidate for Governor in 2018. Dr. Srinivasan’s wife, Kala, had a great time riding in the parade, and took many photographs and short videos which we are happy to share here.
Republican legislators and candidates running for every level of office have marched with our committee and float on the Fourth of July and all are always welcome to participate. {See photos}
