I don’t post often, but our upcoming 2008 Champaign County Republican Fall Festival deserves a plug. Last year’s event drew nearly 500 people to Frasca Field for this family-friendly event. With the recent energy sparked in area Republicans by the McCain-Palin ticket, I think we’re going to break last year’s attendance record. For the first time in my history as Chairman, we’ve already sold over 200 advance tickets (we sold about 150 advance tickets last year). Of course, you can order your tickets here.
If you don’t know about the Fall Festival, it’s certainly the event for area Republicans to attend. Not only is it an opportunity to mingle with everyone from our Congressman (Tim Johnson) to county and municipal officials, it’s also an opportunity to connect (and re-connect) with our friends and neighbors across east-central Illinois. The kids loved it last year, so we’ve made sure to repeat the bounce house, slide, face painting and crafts for them. The food is a guaranteed hit (thank you Steve Hartman for all your generosity again this year), and the ticket price makes the event more affordable than taking the family to McDonald’s.
Event details are as follows:
Sunday, September 14, Noon to 3:00 p.m.
Tickets: $5/adults, $2/kids over 4 and $20/family maximum
Sponsorships: $100, $250 or $500 (includes tickets and special recognition at event)
RSVP to info@champaigncountyrepublicans.org or 217-355-3175
UPDATE:
Pat Brady, the Deputy Co-Chair of the McCain-Palin campaign for Illinois, a National Republican Committeemen for Illinois, and the National Finance Committee & Northern Regional Coordinator for the Republican National Committee, will be among the featured guests at the record-setting Champaign County Republican Fall Festival set for this Sunday, September 14, beginning at Noon at Frasca Field in Urbana. The event has already broken all previous records for pre-event ticket sales and a crowd in excess of 600 is expected this Sunday.
