So Nice to See The Boy Scouts!
Never will forget when they were boo’ed at the Demoncat Convention,,,,2000.
Way to go, Kenton!
It should be added that Kenton is a small town so the turnout is good.... also not to be confused with Canton Ohio which is much much bigger. They even still have a k-mart there..been there a few times seems like a nice town.
Thanks for posting. BUMP for all activists!
