Dear Friend,
Our 4th of July celebrations are always a great time when we can celebrate our love of our country, as well as visit with our friends and neighbors across the 10th district. We had a great time this year, once again, celebrating in every corner of the district! All of the work that is put into these celebrations is always inspiring. Thank you to all those who organized all of the many special events and thank you to all those who came out to celebrate! And a special thank you to all of our military, law enforcement, and first responders who make us a safe and secure community and country.
Sincerely,
Barbara Comstock
4th of July, 2017
LOVETTSVILLE INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE
We kicked off the festivities in Lovettsville with the annual Lovettsville Independence Day Parade held the night before! We always enjoy catching up with Mayor Bob Zoldos and joining our local officials for what is always a big turnout.
GREAT FALLS 4TH OF JULY FESTIVAL AND PARADE
Great Falls 4th of July Festival and Parade includes a "Little Patriot" parade for kids on the green, a 5k run, a community parade and Fireworks at the Turner Farm. Celebrate Great Falls always puts on a great get-together for friends and neighbors and we were happy to be a sponsor for this year's fireworks. We made an early stop in Great Falls to greet our volunteers!
LEESBURG 4TH OF JULY PARADE
For the Leesburg 4th of July Parade, we joined many of our local officials – Sheriff Chapman, Delegates Tag Greason, Randy Minchew, and Dave LaRock, Supervisor Ron Meyer (along with his wife Celia and new baby, Lincoln at her first parade!), as well as candidate for Governor, Ed Gillespie and candidate for Attorney General, John Adams. The hot weather made for high demand for our hand fans and our “I Love Loudoun” stickers lined the parade route!
Thanks to the great crew who turned out for the festivities in Leesburg!
PURCELLVILLE PARADE
After the Leesburg parade, we headed to the Purcellville Parade but made a swing by Gruto's for ice cream with our next Governor, Ed Gillespie before the parade started!
Marched in the Purcellville Parade! So much American Pride!
PETERSON'S ICE CREAM DEPOT IN CLIFTON
It was a hot day and Chip and I got to make a quick stop at Peterson's Ice Cream Depot in Clifton and we ran into Delegate Tim Hugo getting ready for the parade
MANASSAS 4TH OF JULY FESTIVAL
Then we went to the Manassas Festival where everyone was fired up for the4th and the Manassas fireworks!
MIDDLETOWN 4TH OF JULY PARADE
Our last parade of the day was the Middletown 4th of July Parade where we joined my friend and colleague, Delegate Chris Collins! Thanks to Mayor Charles Harbaugh for his hospitality.
