The Washington County Republican Party participated in the 2013 Gateway to the West Parade and held their popular Picnic in the Park immediately following the parade. The parade was not as heavily attended this year due to a cool, steady rainfall. Even though the weather was not ideal, the WCRP served hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and refreshments to over 275 people this year at the Steyer Park pavilion. 2013 Gateway photo album
