ALPENA — The Alpena County Democratic Party (ACDP) hosted the third No Kings protest rally at Culligan Plaza on Saturday.

Although the temperatures hovered around 28 degrees, about 400 people turned out with their signs to support the cause.

The rally in Alpena was just one of thousands around the United States.

During the rally, the ACDP took up a collection for our Alpena County Veteran Affairs Office. Attendees generously donated $300 to support various needs of our local veterans.
