EATON — A local man has declared the town of Eaton’s “independence from hate” by inspiring members of the public to show up today at Crystal Lake with festively decorated kayaks and canoes and the will to stand up to bigots.
The so-called “Floating 4th of July” is being organized by Quddus Snyder, 41 of Eaton whose family has been in town for four generations. The event is part of a group he calls Eaton’s LOVE (League of Voters for Equality), formed about a month ago. It has no formal membership, but dozens of people have been supportive.
