More than 230 boaters showed their support of President Donald Trump during a boat parade in Alexandria Sunday, Aug. 30.

Boats and pontoons, decorated with flags and Trump banners, cruised along the shorelines of Lake Carlos and Lake L'Homme Dieu. The rally started near Lake Carlos State Park.

The event was sponsored by Freedom Loving Americans, according to State Rep. Mary Franson, R-Alexandria.

At least one person in the parade donned a Trump mask along with a suit coat.
