Dear Editor:
Thank you for your editorial calling on our better angels to strive for civility, at least in public settings. I wish that simple concept would have prevailed at the Park County Fair Parade when the organizers apparently saw no problem in allowing a highly partisan group to enter not one but two floats alongside community-conscious organizations, local businesses and several enrichment entrants, like Stomp and Company and the Wyoming Fiddlers.
For the organizers to include the Trump Train as one of the entries that “made the parade a huge success” is deeply troubling. It’s divisive, as are the businesses in town who put their political views front and center at their entrance.
Is it their intention to make some residents feel unwelcome here? Whatever the motive, the result is a damaged community.
