Larry Voss, of Prophetstown, hoists his Trump flag into the air atop the “Big Red Machine” Sunday near the Dixon Walmart before the start of a Trump parade. Voss, who founded the Rock River Chapter of the Redneck Yacht Club, led the Dixon Trump parade through Dixon, Rock Falls and Sterling before turning into the Northland Mall to lead another Trump parade through Whiteside County. Voss’ big red truck and large boat in tow caught the attention of motorist throughout the Sauk Valley Area as it led Trump supporters through the local communities. Page 9.
