The Franklin County Democratic Party Is Hosting A Bar-B-Que Fundraiser
Saturday, July 16, 2005
Starting at 5:00 pm
At the Harmony Hill Arena
1114 Hale Crossing Rd., Royston, GA



Democratic candidates for statewide office will address the Northeast Georgia Democratic BBQ at the Harmony Hill Arena outside Royston. BBQ plates will be served beginning at 4:30pm for $10.

"This is a great opportunity for Northeast Georgia to come out and hear where Democrats want to take the state," said Patty Payne, Chair of the Franklin County Democratic Party. "And there's nothing better than an old-fashioned political BBQ to hear their ideas. There will be music, door prizes and plenty of opportunities for citizens to speak with candidates personally as they mingle with the crowd."

"We are also thrilled to have Franklin County's own representatives, Rep. Jeanette Jamieson (D-Toccoa) and Rep. Alan Powell (D-Hartwell)," said Frank Dunson, co-chair of the Franklin County Democratic Party. "All citizens, all voters, regardless of their party preference, are invited to this barbeque to meet the candidates," he continued. For further information, telephone 706-356-2253.
