July 4 is possibly the busiest day for a campaign other than Election Day. It starts with serving pancakes at the Rotary or firemen's breakfast, then on to walk parade after parade and finally working the crowd at the fireworks display at dusk. It's exhausting but worth it. Beyond all else, you need to be creative and consider some of these dos and don’ts for the parade.
