The Halls Republican Club awards two scholarships to a male and female graduating Senior at Halls High School each year in honor of Republican Dwight Kessel. The proceeds from this breakfast benefit the Scholarship fund. Mr. Kessel was the first Knox County Executive to serve Knox County. He is an excellent man and a great leader for our Republican Party today.
I then traveled over to my friend David Wright’s Cafeteria where he hosted a Biscuit and Bluegrass event for State Representative candidate Gary Drinnen. A Country Ham biscuit prepared by David Wright is as perfect a start to your day as anything on this earth. There was a good crowd and the music was sounding great as I had to hit Middlebrook Pike and head west
to
The Karns Community Fair, I visited with my friend County Commission candidate Chuck James, his wife Donna, daughters Laura and Abbey. I visited with Sheriff Hutchison and Sheriffs Department employees Marianne Thompson, Chief Tom Spangler and J.J. Jones. I had an excellent conversation with Thomas Deakins, candidate for School Board in the sixth district (Chuck James current seat) I spoke to Ken Irvine, Democrat candidate for Criminal Court Judge, Margaret Massey-Cox candidate for County Commission. Volunteers for Republicans Mike Lowe, Steve Hall Register of Deeds, Mike Moyers, State Republican Minority Leader Bill Dunn, County Commission candidate Greg “Lumpy” Lambert, Criminal Court Clerk Martha Phillips and the Karns Republican Club were preparing to begin a long day working at the Karns Community Fair. The event was beginning to get crowded as I left.
The interesting tidbit to share with you is, I witnessed the Democrat purple printed Chancellor candidate apply about 10 or 12 bumper stickers to the Karns royal blue metal above the commons to create a sign. Other candidates had suspended their campaign signs behind their booths. The problem is no one applied a sticky adhesive to the metal and now when Andrews pulls the stickers off the blue paint will come off as well. The Knox County School System will have to repair the damage when he leaves. Obviously he believes the rules do not apply to him, as he ignored the Town of Farragut’s rules about throwing objects for their fourth of July parade as reported by my blogging friend Rob Huddleston, here. Just what the citizens of Knox County need a Democrat Chancellor that doesn’t follow the rules himself but expects you to.
With these three events behind me, I am home to rest and prepare for a round trip to Nashville for the Tennessee Republican Party’s Statesmen Dinner. I am looking forward to this event and will report back tomorrow about all that happens tonight.
Have a Great Saturday.
