An extension of the tea party?

Perhaps not, but this is a good opportunity to throw our support behind both a number of serious fiscally conservative politicians and an organization backing conservative solutions to the problems befalling our state and nation.

The Lower Shore Young Republicans will be hosting a fundraising cookout on Saturday, May 23rd. All money received will benefit toward the club, helping with growth and future costs. Several local elected officials will be on hand including State Senator Andy Harris, who will be on hand as the keynote speaker. “We are extremely excited to have such a wonderful response from our officials,” said YR President Mark Biehl, “It is events like this, with significant public support, that helps our club gain new members.”

The event will feature live entertainment from the local band, The Occasionals, including a member who performed for Mike Huckabee. Along with the entertainment, there will be an all you can eat arrangement of roasted pig and fried chicken, as well as an assorted of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. While the club is for ages 18-40, the event is open to all ages. “We would encourage everyone to attend, whether they are club members or not, Republicans or not. We are big supporters of non-partisan recreation,” quipped Biehl.

The event will be held at 26144 Nanticoke Road in Salisbury. Ticket prices are merely $15 dollars and are available from any club member, children 12 and under are free. Limited tickets are available, so please purchase them in advance. Questions and ticket inquiries can be directed to lowershoreyoungrepublicans@gmail.com.

I did that to secure my tickets, so I’ll see you there! The weather looks pretty good for Saturday and something tells me the pork will be excellent – as will most of the company.

By the way, I’m told the event starts at noon but the pig will be on the fire Friday evening and tenders will be needed for the overnight hours too.
