Hundreds gather for pro-Trump rolling rally through Turlock
Hundreds gathered in Turlock for a large pro-Donald Trump parade through town Saturday afternoon.
The event, called a “rolling rally,” was in support of the president’s reelection campaign. Participants traveled from the staging area at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds and circled through the downtown area. Then people took part in the extended portion of the parade through a large swath of Turlock, from Canal Drive to Geer Road, Monte Vista Avenue to Tegner Road and returned via Fulkerth Road. The parade began at 1 p.m.
Vehicles taking part in the event ranged from cars and trucks to tractors and farm equipment. Many were festooned with Trump flags and banners, including one that read “Farmers for Trump.” The event drew families and others put out lawn chairs to watch for the parade when it passed near downtown.
The event attracted about 300 to 400 vehicles, and hundreds more people spread out through the city. The parade and rally ended without apparent incident after 3 p.m.
