Happy 4th of July
Parade in Greenville, Texas
July 4th Park Street Parade
For many years now, the residents of Park Street in Greenville, Texas have hosted a 4th of July parade that is right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. The streets, front yards and porches are lined with people cheering and waving flags. Since we never have attended, I would like for us to participate in this event this year. I have a flatbed truck that many can ride on or you may drive your car, especially if it’s a classic. We’ll finalize plans at our July monthly meeting on July 3. Plan now to join us for a big turnout. Be at Living Word Church, 618 Division St. (church on the north side of Division) at 9:00am. At 9:30 we’ll move up to Park Street and get in position. The parade starts at 10:00am. I’ll deliver you back to your vehicle after the parade ends.

We’re Hunt County Democrats, Y’all!
“Democrats are the party of inclusion. We know that diversity is not our problem—it is our promise. As Democrats, we respect differences of perspective and belief, and pledge to work together to move this country forward, even when we disagree … we do not merely seek common ground—we strive to reach higher ground.” Democratic Party Platform
Whether you’re progressive, conservative or somewhere between, we’re all Texans. We look out for each other because we believe in the power of community, and we know Texans can achieve big things when we work together.
Hunt County Democrats are working to build a strong, respectful government where everyone has equal opportunity to vote, thrive, and live in harmony. We believe in a government that works for all of us, a government truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Let’s Make Texas Great for Everyone
Hunt County Democrats advocate for inclusive communities powered by strong public education, a stable economy with higher wages, and affordable healthcare.
We believe government should represent the people by securing individual rights and privacy, facilitating free and fair elections, building a robust middle class and ensuring safe communities through responsible law enforcement practices and gun safety regulations.
