We are preparing for Denver and 2008 DNCC

A few of you have asked about my blog. I created it some time ago in response to some need and have not kept at it. Now that we are on our way to Denver, I'm gearing it up for nightly entries and photo uploads. You can experience the Convention along with all the rest of us. If you have suggestions at format or use, please let me know. Olivia Anne

Fancy Farm; Jeff's Retort; George's Mitch Sticks

You may see what Jeff's response to my inquiry was at http://ohioriver606.blogspot.com/ And, here's a photo of a very few of those of us who were at Fancy Farm for our "reunion" with George Sales's wonderful Ditch Mitch Sticks (two of which now are in Bruce's office and the photo at the top of which is claimed as original work by Cary Stemle): And, here's one of me, Jeff, and Ken (in that order) at the Bean dinner:

Fancy Farm Post to Jeff's blog; here, too

Here's what I posted as a comment to Jeff Noble's blog at http://ohioriver606.blogspot.com It seemed worthy of adding to my own blog. So, here it is: Well, Jeff, the ole counter indeed is well over 20,000. Hope the other 19,999 hits have enjoyed your site as much as I over the last few. Fancy Farm was spectacular. It was good to see you there all over briefly, too. The partisans were "Hot" for their candidates and the food always is better than the best, especially that country ham, which I did not win, again. I got to meet Mr. Darryl Cunningham of 'mater fame and was introduced to him by his son, John, who is the County Attorney. Had it not been for the heat, Darryl gladly would have sent me home with bushels of the gorgeous red orbs. It always charms me that we from the far reaches of our state are so excitedly welcomed to Graves County and all the festivities. Gerald Smith and Susan Hammond again had command central right by the drive lane and were their always gracious selves to our whole group. The parties were terrific. George Sales and his placards to Ditch Mitch were fabulous (and Bruce from the stage seemed truly excited by our efforts). Todd just keeps on getting better and better and Heather did herself proud. Carroll as the hometown guy got a particularly "warm" reception. But, wow, oh, wow! Did our own Steve really let that KDP kicking ass loose on the minions of the Mitch! That West Kentucky Guy just showed them how it's done. Can't wait for next year and the whole thing to start again! So, how was your Fancy Farm 2008?
