Democrats of the 8th Legislative District and Benton County will be represented at this year's
Benton-Franklin Fair & Rodeo again this year. Becky Voll, who managed the fair committee for us last year, rode in from Portland on her white steed to rescue the project.
When we looked at sign-ups for the fair last Friday, we had only about 10% coverage. By the end of the day Sunday, we had 90% of the shifts covered -- thanks to all of you who stepped up! -- and we had the booth up at the fair grounds. We're looking forward to meeting with all of you democrats at the fair. By the way, the "
El Fat Cat Grill" is right next to the back entrance to the building.

Our booth location has changed from last year. We are still in the building labeled "
Mattress Firm Expo Center," but the booth is along the side, rather at the entrance. The booth will be manned from 9:30 am to 11:00 pm, from Tuesday, August 22nd to Saturday, August 26th.
We still need some help on shifts. I need a partner for my 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm shift Tuesday, August 22nd.
Ginger Wireman needs someone to help with her 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm shift
Wednesday Aug 23rd. We need someone to take 11:30 to 12:30 Thursday, Aug 24th, and
we'd like to get another person Friday, Aug 25th, 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Please let me (Richard 509-546-1420) or Becky (971-222-8862) know directly if you can help.

Thanks to Richard for all his hard work and time. I am not sure when he took those pictures but I am sure many of you recognize Chuck LoPriesti there. Also John and Mimi Latta , former Norm Miller Dinner awardees were there having driven up from Washougl to help. Major thanks to them for stepping up and helping. I look forward to meeting all of our volunteers and hope you have fun working at our booth!
