Now that the General Assembly session is over, State Senator and Congressional hopeful Andy Harris will be able to resume his efforts at winning the seat in the First Congressional District. His travels will bring him to our neck of the woods for at least these two scheduled stops over the next couple weeks.
On Sunday night (April 13th) Harris is the Guest Speaker at Worcester County’s Lincoln Day Dinner. This will be held at the Clarion Resort Fountainebleau Hotel on 101st Street in Ocean City – cocktails at 5:30, dinner at 6:30, and Harris at 7:30. The cost is $40 per person and $75 per couple and this gathering also is the prime fundraiser for the Worcester County GOP. As I recall, last year Worcester County was selected as Maryland’s top GOP county so their Central Committee is a hard-working group. And this group says “It’s Time To Come Together” so they will.
The e-mail contacts for the Worcester County dinner are fvoss@verizon.net or Puseyfarm@yahoo.com.
If that wasn’t enough, those down Somerset County way can stop by a reception hosted by Howard and Kathleen Crossan of Princess Anne on Saturday, April 26th from 5-7 p.m. This event will cost you $50. You can get more information by contacting the Crossans at their e-mail howard@oxfordchase.net.
And the fun doesn’t stop there as the Harris campaign will also be represented at the Pork in the Park rib festival next weekend. I’ll actually be working the booth on Sunday afternoon so stop by and say hello. I sort of hope that Frank Kratovil’s campaign will also be there to allow voters to compare and contrast the two main First District candidates. In June I’m sure both will be at the Delmarva Chicken Festival as it returns to Salisbury and certainly both can be seen in July when the Tawes Clam Bake places Crisfield in Maryland’s political spotlight for the day.
I’ve also heard the rumor of another large-scale Harris event later this summer but some of the details are still being finalized, so stay tuned.
