Another edition of the Election Calendar. People are starting to get it slowly but surely – putting word of events on the internet is a good thing!
This week several events in Sussex County have crossed my computer screen, so they now lead the pack.
Sussex County:
July 4: U.S. Congress candidate Dennis Spivack is slated to appear at the Bethany parade. The parade steps off at noon.
July 6: U.S. Senate candidate Jan Ting is scheduled to be at the Sussex County GOP Passport Party. This is at the Baywood Greens CC in Long Neck. Cost is $45 per person or $80 a couple, starting at 6:00 with social hour. Speaker is former Ambassador to China James R. Lilley and info can be had at (302) 856-6323.
July 7: The next night, Ting is back in Seaford for his listening tour. The info number given is (302) 651-0271.
July 11: Delaware Attorney General candidate Ferris Wharton holds the first stop on his Announcement Tour at 9 a.m. at the Old Courthouse in Georgetown, 10 S. Bedford Street.

Wicomico County:
July 4: District 38B candidate Bonnie Luna will be circulating about the Wicomico Fireworks display at Wicomico High School in Salisbury. Also, I’m told several candidates will be at the earlier parade in the village of Allen. (That parade starts at 2:00, I found that out today.)
July 6: As far as I know, the Sheriff Candidates Forum at the Elks Club is still on. I’m assuming that this is the one at 401 Church Hill Avenue (by the golf course and zoo) since that’s the only Elks Club I’m aware of here. Not certain of the time yet, but I’m still sure someone will tell me – I would guess 6:30 or 7:00.
July 8: Bonnie Luna is the guest of honor at a neighborhood “Meet the Candidate” party. For info call (410) 749-1736.
July 10: On Larry Dodd‘s calendar (District 5 County Council incumbent) is an interview for Bill Reddish’s WICO-AM morning show. Generally these occur in the half hour between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m.
Worcester County:
July 8: Both District 38B hopeful Jack Lord and U.S. Congress candidate (MD-1) Jim Corwin are slated to be at the Ocean Pines Boat Parade.
July 9: Fellow 38B candidate Bonnie Luna is scheduled to be at the “Concert on the Lawn” at the Calvin B. House Museum in Berlin (208 N. Main Street).
July 15: Jack Lord is having a “Surfin’ Safari” fundraiser at the Showell Fire Department hall, 1-5 p.m. Cost is $35 per person.
Dorchester County:
July 7: District 37 State Senator Richard Colburn is having the 10th Choptank River Cruise. This cruise will embark from the Suicide Bridge Restaurant (6304 Suicide Bridge Road in Hurlock) at 6:30 p.m. sharp, and the cost is $75.
July 8: U.S. Congress candidate Jim Corwin’s calendar has him stopping by the Dorchester Democrat Central Committee fundraiser at the Canvasback Restaurant in Cambridge. This begins at 3:30 p.m. and the cost is $35. Also having this on his calendar is Maryland AG hopeful Doug Gansler.
Wow, this took a lot more time. But I’m happy to do it! I counted 14 events so things are beginning to pop here for sure.
