Marion County Arkansas Republicans

The Marion County Republican Committee changed things up a bit this year for their Annual Reagan Day Dinner.  This year it was a more relaxed atmosphere of Boots & BBQ.  People were informed of the décor and dressed accordingly.  As people arrived a Ronald Reagan stand-in was stationed outside with his horse ready for a photos.  The Marion County Fair Building was decorated beautifully. Entertainment was provided by The Ted Hobbs Band, featuring Ted Hobbs, Tim Hobbs, Benny Speaks, Thelma Pruitt, and Eldon Williams.  Dinner was catered by:  Razorback Ribs.  You will enjoy BOTH BBQ Ribs AND BBQ Chicken Breast Baked Potato Bar complete with all the fix’ns, and Corn on the Cob.  Dinner will include a Tossed Salad and Dessert will be Blackberry Cobbler. Included with the meal will be Texas Toast, Coffee, Lemonade, Iced Tea, and Water.

Chairman ANTHONY TODARO, kicked the evening off with a wonderful welcome to the event.  STATE SEN. SCOTT FLIPPO was the MC for the evening. He kept the event moving along. Republican Party of Arkansas Chairman, DOYLE WEBB, talked about the ever increasing numbers of Republicans running for office this year. Chairman Webb spoke about the "crumbs" in paychecks and how appreciative people were of them. GOVERNOR ASA HUTCHINSON spoke about the financial state of Arkansas and many new opportunities for growth in income that would be coming its way. Keynote Speaker, LT. GOVERNOR TIM GRIFFIN gave the audience a few chuckles with his stories of his family of whom he seemed very proud. He praised our wonderful food prepared by Razorback Rib and relaxed atmosphere. He reminded people that they had to be active participants in elections. While Arkansas has become a Republican state after generations of being a one party, Democratic state, the battle is not over. Conservatives values are worth fighting for and to help candidates and get out the vote and keep the momentum going.
