Capitol Hill July 4th Parade 2019

Jun 24, 2019

Again this year, CHRS celebrated Independence Day by fielding a contingent in the Capitol Hill Parade. (photos)

As part of our ongoing outreach efforts, Society volunteers fielded a contingent in this year’s Capitol Hill 4th of July Parade. Under threat of foul weather, it was deemed to risky to include an open car – so the beads were trucked along in a humble but festively-decorated garden cart. Our caution was for naught as the weather was sunny and hot but it was nice to stay dry. Hip-Hip-Hurrah! to everyone who participated: Tina May, Maygene Daniels, Nancy Metzger Angie Schmidt and her son Jack, Chris, Kerry and Dan Mullins, Nick S. Alberti, Beth Hague, Elizabeth Nelson, and our new Prez, Beth Purcell – most especially Nick L. Alberti who took most of these photos.
