Democrats of all ages enjoyed good food and good fellowship at the club’s annual Flag Day Picnic at Sweetbriar Park on June 12.
Traci Dippert, our party’s choice for the 30th District seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates, told a supportive crowd that she intends to lead the way to a Democratic majority in Richmond.
The Demettes, songstresses and political satirists, entertained picnic goers with a rousing number to the tune of “Ain’t Nothin’ But a Hound Dog.”
It was a beautiful day at the Lake, as the club served up burgers and hot dogs and club members provided a table full of other picnic favorites. There were red, white and blue cupcakes for dessert, each with a tiny paper U.S. flag on top.
A lovely wine basket was the prize in this year’s raffle, and participants snatched up tickets. Democratic pins, cups and other memorabilia were on sale.
Chris Carr and Lois Powell, special events chairs, and their hard-working committee are to be congratulated for their work in organizing another successful picnic.
