Women's Suffrage Rally
Mock rally evokes passions from a century ago
10/24/2009 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Free
This mock rally on the Chelan County Courthouse lawn will evoke the passions of a century ago, when women were clamoring for the vote with some men in fervent opposition. Costumed actresses portraying early 20th-century suffragists will give short speeches, while hecklers in the crowd carry signs and yell their disapproval. A four-piece brass band will play before, during and after the rally. You are welcome to be part of the fun! Following the rally, join the crowd in walking a few blocks to the Wenatchee Valley Museum for the opening reception to “Women’s Votes, Women’s Voices.”
