    Saturday August 5th, 2023

    Thousands of delighted city and county residents and visitors alike were treated to the 76th annual Homecoming Parade Saturday morning. Over 120 parade entries of floats, trailers, school bands, athletic teams, civic clubs, antique cars and off-road vehicles and more gathered near Genesis High School at Cedar and Hill Streets in Bastrop. One by one they followed the parade route along Cedar to Main through Downtown and finished in the shade along Emile Street. The typical Texas heat and humidity of summer did not deter the nearly 30 representatives from the Bastrop County Republican Party (BCRP), Bastrop County Young Republicans (BCYR), Bastrop County Conservatives (BCC), Lost Pines Republican Women (LPRW), County Officials, supporters and volunteers who filled the trailer to capacity. Our parade entry, numbered 4 of 120, followed closely behind the leading Parade Marshall, three Fire Trucks, and City and County Officials in classic automobiles. Participants and spectators enjoyed the festivities by waving and cheering along the mile and quarter long route.

    Riding on the parade trailer were County Tax Assessor/Collector Ellen Owens, County Clerk Krista Bartsch, Precinct 4 Constable Joey Dzienowski, BCYR Chairwoman Kylie Cunningham, BCC Co-founder Mel Cooper and wife Linda, LPRW Members, BCRP supporters Glen and Susan Carlisle, Butch Carmack, Dominica McGinnis, Charles Brading and several of BCRP’s Precinct Chairs.
