Brevard County Public Defender Candidate IN the Mardi Gras Parade
Written by Ken Rhoden
During the past year I and my crew of volunteers have participated in a number of parades here in the community. As a Brevard County Public Defender candidate I am out and about in the area participating in events, volunteering, speaking, and meeting people.
The Mardi Gras Parade this year (2012) was a new experience but it was a lot of fun. We decorated my old chevy pickup truck with the traditional Mardi Gras colors using paper, toile, balloons, beads, fringe and most of all - happy people!
In Cocoa Village the parade route is short so we do two laps around the perimeter. I think we calculated a total of 6,000 beads thrown just from the Vote Rhoden mobile!
I will definitely participate in this fun event next year and I bet each and every one of the young people and adults that volunteered with my campaign will be back, too.
