Off to the Chicken Festival

In an effort to a) improve my website by meeting some of the local politicians, b) meet and greet potential voters – I’m sure a few from Wicomico County will be there, and c) get out of my apartment and have some fun! I’m heading down to Snow Hill today for awhile just to check it out, particularly the car show!

So I’ll have a camera in my hand. If you’re curious about meeting the guy who does monoblogue, look for the guy in a “Toledo Mud Hens – 2005 IL Champions” shirt. I don’t think there’s too many of those on Delmarva!

Hopefully the rain that plagued yesterday’s events will stay away today, we got our share for sure.

Post-visit edit…I enjoyed my time there except for the mud! The other major bummer was not getting to see the car show that was scheduled, it was scrubbed because of the weather. Guess they really don’t want to drive the cars through the mud too much. But the rain held off by and large, I had a great BBQ’d chicken sandwich and some nice crispy fries for lunch, witnessed with my very own eyes and camera the World’s Largest Frying Pan, and I saw a slew of politicians there.

As promised in my calendar, Jack Lord was at the Chicken Festival with his little tent enjoying the fact it was actually dry. I also saw the remainder of the 38B candidates strolling about (Luna, Lewis, Mathias, Conway) with the exception of Sonny Bloxom and newcomer Bill McDermott, and jawed with Norm Conway for a few minutes about health care (very amicably I may add, I think we just agree to disagree on solutions.) Both Worcester County parties had a small tent there – GOP collecting petition signatures and passing out literature, the Democrats playing host to the two local state reps. In addition, U.S. Senate candidate Josh Rales had a tent there although he wasn’t present. I did tell his volunteers there about the Ten Questions, and have a new address to resend them to. His turn will come up in early August.

It’s early summer and the campaign’s starting to heat up with the weather. While I’m going to be busy with my own campaign, I’ll be out and about taking in the sights of a Delmarva election summer. It should be more interesting than last year’s version.

Oh, and I think I had the “allow comments” feature turned off on the last couple posts because of heavy spam volume – that problem has been taken care of. Akismet seems to be doing a great job.
