WCRC Crab Feast 2008 in pictures and text

Unquestionably there’s a lot going on in the national political arena but today’s post shows one example of the grassroots element of politics. From Lincoln or Reagan Day dinners (or their Democrat counterpart, Jefferson/Jackson dinners), to booths at the county fair, to opening the county headquarters just before the election, to the average political club meeting, millions of Americans participate in the political process not just by voting but taking time out of their lives for a social get-together where they can meet their elected officials and candidates. Today was one such occasion here.

What I’m going to do from this point will mostly be a photo essay on the get-together we had today. Just hold the mouse over the photo for the explanatory caption.

We'll see if this sign is correct come November, but I suspect it will be.

If you judge the interest by how fast this stack of signs left the premises, you'd say we were stoked. Hey, I made sure to secure one for my front yard!

Obviously this was a political get-together, but a lot of people enjoy this aspect of the event - eating some of what Chesapeake Bay brought forth.

There were a lot of people who opted to eat under the cover of the park shelter on a pleasantly cool end-of-summer day...

...but others decided to enjoy the crabs, burgers, dogs, and some really good sweet corn under the pines in the park.

State Senator and Congressional candidate Andy Harris makes a point. Perhaps he's open-mouthed in amazement that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is dropping $1 million into his opponent's coffers just to buy TV time.

State Senator Andy Harris (center) is flanked by his two Lower Shore counterparts. On the left is District 38 State Senator Lowell Stoltzfus and on the right is District 37 State Senator Rich Colburn. Stoltzfus is hosting a McCain-Palin rally in 2 weeks, the next major political event. Local blogger Joe Albero (far right) was taking pictures too.

The event is also a fundraiser for the Wicomico County Republican Club, with the silent auction a key facet of it.

So we had a pretty successful day and a good turnout. Afterward I went over to our headquarters and put together signs for later distribution. Then I came home and got my road work in. I’m just throwing the last picture in because I thought it was neat, taken as the sun set on another political day on Delmarva.

Another day ends on the road to Election Day. I may use this as a background image for my computer, to me it's a great picture.

Please note that the opinions expressed on monoblogue are not necessarily those of the Wicomico County Republican Party Central Committee, of which I'm a member. (But they probably should be.)
