Wayne Powell will be guest at annual Flag Day picnic
Wayne Powell, candidate for the Congress from Virginia’s 7th District, will be a special guest at the event. He’ll speak briefly about his determination to help restore a dysfunctional U.S. Congress.
The picnic will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the covered Lion George Lewis Pavilion in Sweetbriar Park.
Everyone’s invited to the picnic, which has become a much-anticipated early summer tradition at the Lake. There will be hamburgers and hot dogs and a groaning board of other all-America fare, such as potato salad, baked beans, casseroles, side-dishes, watermelon and red-white-and-blue cupcak es.
There’s no charge for admission, but donations to defer expenses are encouraged and appreciated.
After everyone has had plenty to eat, there will be patriotic program, beginning with a flag ceremony and featuring the club’s own “Demettes,” a crowd-pleasing bevy of divas belting out a repertoire of lively and hilarious songs, usually with political overtones.
Raffle tickets will be sold on a lovely wine basket, including two bottles of good wine, wine glasses, candle, two Democratic donkey pins, wine glass tags, gourmet crackers and other surprises.
