Labor Day Parade

I covered the Buena Vista Labor Day Parade and Festival in Buena Vista, Va., today. This was more than just a parade of old cars, bands playing, and people lining the streets. The Buena Vista Labor Day Parade and Festival is a huge political event, where Virginia politicians, including former Governors Mark Warner and Jim Gilmore, sought support from locals as they made their way through the parade. Mark Warner, a Democrat, and Jim Gilmore, a Republican, are battling each other for a spot in the U.S. Senate. Here are some of my favorites from today, my first post.
