| Gregory Diaz, Nevada County’s Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, and his wife Katherine have agreed to portray our newest couple, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
“We are thrilled to have the Diaz’s join us this year portraying our 44th President and First Lady,” said Nan Patmont, chair of the Famous Marching Presidents steering committee. “Typically our Presidents and First Ladies march down Broad Street beginning with our first Presidential couple, George and Martha Washington, but on inagural years we reverse the order and honor the new President and First Lady by having them lead the parade. Please join me with a hearty “Hail to the Chief” welcome to our newest President and First Lady” |
The whole gang of marching presidents and first ladies is excited about meeting the “new guys.” Among the new marchers this year is Louise Jones as Eleanor Roosevelt, Larry Cain as Rutherford Hayes, Wyatt Lazenby as Lyndon Johnson and Leea Davis as Pat Nixon.
