Marquette County Republican Party

The bus trip to the state Republican convention was a success!  Thanks to Rita Hale (Alger County Chair)

for the fund-raising efforts, and to Doreen Takalo for organizing the trip.

The bus started in Houghton, picked up delegates & supporters across the U.P. to Gaylord.

The discussion along the way; and the chance to meet like-minded friends makes the trip worth taking.

Many thanks to those who donated toward the bus & lunch …
