Memorial Day 2009 Parade Photos
Pictures from today’s Memorial Day Parade, some of you had told me you were having difficulty viewing the pictures using the built in slideshow I was using before, so I’ve gone back to this format to see if that works better. I was at the beginning of the parade route on Summit near Monroe. Since I was in a different location than year’s past I don’t know if turnout was lighter overall or if it was just not that heavy where my husband and I were at.
Pictures taken today at the Memorial Day Parade held in Toledo, Ohio
Elected officials/Candidates or Campaign volunteers seen in the order I believe I saw them in or close to it:

and…the MoodyMobile was spotted…
I also saw Terry Shankland but I don’t know if he’s running for Council this year…
and there were people for 9 is Fine as well as for the Casino gathering signature petitions…
Thanks for noticing my volunteers at todays parade and taking their picture. I was also there with several other volunteers. Thanks again!
May 23rd, 2009 at 5:55 pm…what, no mayor?
May 23rd, 2009 at 6:07 pmPaul, I’m sure we’ll meet up on the campaign trail.
Brian, the Mayor was probably at the reviewing stand, I was at the beginning part of the parade.
May 23rd, 2009 at 6:24 pmah yes, that would make sense.
May 23rd, 2009 at 6:42 pmI’m sure there were other electeds/candidates along the parade route or at the reviewing stand, I did what I always do, photograph the ones I see. Typically by the end of the year most of them know me, and then pause for a picture.
May 23rd, 2009 at 6:44 pmSeems like Flickr would be more efficient. That way I could see your entire photostream – even archives. Just a thought.
Your friend.
May 23rd, 2009 at 6:55 pmWill, probably true, I tried photobucket but they limit you to showing only the first 100 photos and I took almost 200.
May 23rd, 2009 at 7:02 pmFlickr requires a yahoo id…ick…
May 23rd, 2009 at 7:03 pmoh, Lisa! You don’t have to really use the yahoo email – just create it for Flickr. I have 2 email addresses I use just for signup forms from companies that I know will probably spam me & for random purposes (like the yahoo ID that I have for Flickr). Just a thought.
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:26 pmI know, I just have this whole mental block against creating a yahoo id. I had a very bad yahoo experience once, I never got over it.
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:28 pmLisa,
Just to let you know…Teamwork Toledo was among the crowds at the parade and the flower sale. Our effort was more focused on talking one-on-one with Toledo residents and getting petitions signed.
Parades are nice to be seen, but we want to be heard, too.
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:30 pmKevin, sorry that I didn’t run into you today or anyone from Teamwork Toledo. Normally I’m closer to the reviewing stand but this year I decided to see what being at the beginning part of the parade was like.
May 23rd, 2009 at 8:42 pmI should correct that last statement to read “we want the citizens to be heard, too.”
That’s why we’re trying to have some one-on-one conversations as we work to get petitions signed and make it to the September ballot.
May 24th, 2009 at 7:03 amHi Lisa,
thanks so much for photographing my campaign manager Alexis De Anda. I also was in the parade with council members Craig, McNamara, Sobzcak. I was the one in the orange shirt. Can’t miss me
I look forward to finally meeting you!
