Chicago area suburban Republicans came out in force last Saturday for the annual GOP Fall Rally 2016. It was held at the Fifth Third Ballpark in Geneva, Illinois. The beautiful ball park is home of the Kane County Cougars who just finished their season.
The afternoon featured fun, hot dogs, brats, burgers, beer, and of course political speeches. The Jumbotron in centerfield showed local and national candidates, including a big ad for Donald Trump. The rally was hosted by local committeeman Stan Bond with Bob Grogan as master of ceremonies. The evening ended with a magnificent fireworks show.
