Attend the Old-Fashioned Political Rally, a biennial event held by the Larimer County League of Women Voters, the Loveland Chamber of Commerce and the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald.

The rally keeps alive the tradition of citizens meeting politicians to ask questions and discuss issues. National, state and local candidates will be on hand; each will have a booth to distribute literature and to speak directly with voters. Proponents and opponents of state and local ballot issues will also have booths with information on the various proposals, and the County Clerk’s office will have a demonstration electronic voting machine available. The League of Women Voters will offer general voter information. Note that this is not a debate; however, each candidate will be scheduled to make a three to five minute speech, provided he or she appears in person. Rally organizers do not allow candidates to send substitutes to represent them. 
 
This rally is the premier event of its kind in the state, with turnouts of consistently more than 1,000 people. Red, white and blue decorations, music, free admission, free coffee, free popcorn, free lemonade, and other Ranch concessions at great prices create a festive atmosphere.  Families are highly encouraged to attend. Campaign banners, buttons, hand carried signs, speeches and cheers will fill the building with patriotic enthusiasm.
