Ken Walks the Titusville Christmas Light Parade

The energetic, hardworking Ken Rhoden is at it again!  Ken walked the entire route of the Titusville Christmas Light Parade (put on by the local Jaycees) along with a few of his supporters!   The crowd was HUGE the whole way and it even “snowed” a little in Titusville as the parade passed through the judging area.  Little Miss Mullet Maiden rode on the campaign car and threw candy out to all the kids.  Walkers passed out candy canes and Ken shook every hand extended to him for 2.4 miles and that was a lot of hands.  A volunteer from Barry University School of Law came over from Orlando to drive the car and a big thank you to Matt, Tracy, Michelle, Bo, Carol, Bonnie, Amy & her sons, and Isabella.

Mims Christmas Parade

Ken and supporters participated in the Mims Christmas parade on December 3.  The group walked the entire route while handing out candy and, in Ken’s case, shaking hands with supporters all along the way.   What a great group of people to turn out for the parade!  Ken’s group handed out over 15 pounds of candy! While Little Miss Mims Mullet Maiden did not ride with Ken in this parade, he did get to have a photo taken with her.

Veteran’s Day Parade – 2011

Ken and a group of supporters entered the Melbourne Veteran’s Day Parade to support local vets past-present-future.  The Vote Rhoden group included a US Army Vet from the 1/7 3rd Infantry “Marne” Division and some civilian supporters.

There were vets old and young all along the parade route along with their families.  The kids especially enjoyed all 15 pounds of candy the group handed out along the New Haven and Oak Street route.  Thank you to Honor America for organizing such a great event.  Freedom is not free and while we should all be proud Americans – we should be extraordinarily proud of our Veterans.  Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
