Thanks to those who have offered to be in the Homecoming Parade for Modesitt for County Commission. Being that I am on the Homecoming Committee, and I don’t want to create a conflict of interest, I decided not to have a vehicle in the parade. Secondly, I think community parades are for kids and families to enjoy bands, festival queens and their courts, floats, etc…and not a “political” opportunity. Politics in a parade sometimes gives the wrong impression of “big me and little you” and I am more of the mindset of being a public servant rather than a political celebrity. Let the fun begin as we celebrate Parkersburg Homecoming Festival.
