The Parade passed through Thornton Park, along Central Avenue, and ended at Heritage Square, adjacent to Wall Street Plaza. A variety of participants enjoyed the reception of a friendly crowd (and only a few protesters) and finished the afternoon with a blend of music, comedy and speeches. RDC fans and Democrats were everywhere! Booths staffed by social, business, and political interests enhanced the experience, along with the 1st ever Central Florida GLBT History Exhibit in the History Center.
RDC took some pics to share on the web, but this is only a small taste of the fun!
RDC marchers carried pro-Democratic and
anti-Bush/Republican signs.

Orange/Osceola County Public Defender Bob
Wesley's truck carried some of RDC's group with (not-so-clearly)
handmade signs "My Dog Never Met A Bush He Didn't Like", "Bush + Dick =
Screwed" and "We're All Wearing the Blue Dress Now."
