Bullitt County FDR Dinner A Great Success!

Thursday, July 23 by admin.

Our second annual FDR Dinner was held without a single hitch. The staff at Paroquet Springs provided efficient and competent staff, a beautiful setting and delicious food We couldn’t have chosen a more hospitable yet affordable location.

Former party chair and candidate for county judge exec., Joe Sohm, opened the event with by giving an invocation and leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Following the dinner, Lt. Governor, Dan Mongiardo, spoke as did Drew Jenckins on behalf of Attorney General, Jack Conway.  Both Mongiardo and Conway are candidates for the U. S Senate and after hearing the speeches we are assured that we have the best candidates for the job. Making a decision at the primary polls will be a difficult one indeed.

Following the dinner, candidates for the District 20 Senate seat, David Eaton and John Spainhour were introduced as were the local officials and candidates who were in attendance. 

County judge exec. candidate and Director of the Bullitt County History Museum David Strange, presented an engaging slideshow. During the slideshow Mr. Strange provided a narrative reflecting on Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s vital role as our commander-in-chief during World War II. 

The highlight of the evening was the keynote address by Governor Beshear’s chief of staff, Adam Edelen. In his speech, Mr. Edelen reminded us of the acccomplishments of Governor Beshear and asked us to imagine what the condition of our state would be if the former governor were still in office.

The event was an exciting kick-off to the 2010 election season and we raised over $2000 to jumpstart our support for our candidates! Thanks to those who were able to attend and special thanks to Carolyn Jesse, James Southern and Roseann Cahoe for their dedication to making the event a success!
