A little bit of progress, I did get a few more events. It’s still slow though, but hopefully after July 4th I’ll be starting to see more and more items. There’s just a ton of candidates out there, all running themselves ragged after votes (or so I hope.)
Without further ado, this week I’ll switch up the order and go from most to fewest events.
Worcester County:
It’s definitely the leader right now!
June 19: U.S. Congress candidate Jim Corwin is scheduled to attend the Democratic Women’s Club of Ocean Pines meeting. From the Maryland Democrat Party website, the contact number I have is (410) 641-6196.
Also tomorrow, District 38B candidate Bonnie Luna is scheduled to be at the Maryland Biodiesel Grand Opening in Berlin. Not sure where that’s at, but those close by likely do.
June 20: Another District 38B candidate, Jack Lord will be at the Showell Fire Department. I’m unsure of the nature of the event.
June 23-24: The Delmarva Chicken Festival at Byrd Park in Snow Hill. I have Jack Lord scheduled to be there both days, and Jim Corwin is slated to be there Friday for a 10 a.m. Pocomoke River cruise and at 11:00 the Celebrity Chicken Fry. Actually, I’m going to be there on Saturday to check out the scene myself.
June 25: Thanks to the WCRC website, I now know that Michael Steele will be having a fundraising reception at Occasionally Yours (10514 Racetrack Road) in Berlin, price is $75. This runs from 3-5 p.m.
June 27: See what happens when you have a nice updated calendar on your website? Jim Corwin is scheduled for a Meet the Candidates dinner in Ocean Pines. Not sure what time or where, perhaps I’ll have more light shed on that by next Sunday.
Wicomico County:
June 26: Wicomico County Republican Club meeting, Chamber of Commerce building, 144 E. Main Street, meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. Wicomico County District 5 Councilman Larry Dodd has this on his calendar, as does Jack Lord, as do I. (Look for the guy taking notes, I have a blog post to do!) Speaker is Wicomico County Executive candidate Bob Culver.
July 1: I’m not sure if he’ll actually show up, but it’s Governor Bob Ehrlich Night with the Shorebirds. The game starts at 7:05 p.m. as the Shorebirds face the Lake County Captains, with fireworks to follow. (I’d like to see some fireworks on the scoreboard as well, the ‘Birds struggled for runs on their last homestand.) Contact Ellen Andrews for more info, (410) 742-0927. And yes I’ll be present. Are you kidding me, a GOP function involving a baseball game? Duh. That frickin’ rules.
Sussex County:
June 23: On the Delaware side of the line, their U.S. Senate candidate Jan Ting has a “listening tour” stop scheduled in Georgetown. The info number given is (302) 651-0271.
Yes, NOW we’re starting to get someplace. I counted nine events, last week I had seven with dates. I believe that Jim Corwin’s Choptank Cruise event I alluded to last week is sometime in August so I’ll update accordingly as the time nears. (I think he got the hint! Nice job.)
Next Sunday, I’ll do it again for June 26 through July 9.
