and that we had zero boos and a few cheering groups.

We hand out candy and dog biscuits. Two men said to their kids 'don't eat that lib candy!" and one guy wouldn't take a "Democrat" dog biscuit for his dog. The dog was sad about that, by the way!

But, overall, it was good. My DH is well liked in town, since he's the head coach of our Robotics team, but overall, not as bad as I feared.

Only one MAGA shirt and two caps noted by our walking contingent.
