The SWW fair schedule, with regard to the Lewis County Republican booth, is nearly ready. As always, we give the different campaigns/candidates an opportunity to weigh in first with their request for hours which allows them to continue working, whether for the county or privately. The fair runs from August 17-22, so there are lots of opportunities to help!
The schedule will be at the July 12th meeting and many will sign up then. The schedule will also be at the August 2, picnic/meeting, Stan Hedwall park/ 6 pm,
and that is when many will commit. One of the main reasons we have the picnic on the first Monday in August is so that we can easily fill out the schedule at that time and remind those present that the fair is coming and we appreciate their volunteer hours.
There really are no "bad" hours for a campaign/candidate. Many of you heard me reiterate that 2 hours a day (at the very least) times 6 days, is similar to 12 hours of very heavy doorbelling, but much easier.
We do have criteria, as to staff in the booth, at any one time. There will be a minimum of 2 serving with perhaps a candidate or two at the same time....this is maximum. Candidates to the front of the booth, volunteer Republicans toward the back. It is important to follow this suggestion as the booth can get hectic and very crowded if some guidelines are not set up.
We are requesting that participants wear long pants/jeans/slacks with one of our Republican Shirts (they should be ready!) which we will provide. If you are a candidate, please put your best foot forward and dress accordingly. We welcome and encourage participation by all, however, we ARE (R!) Republicans and feel that some decorum is expected and most usually, delivered. We are hoping to have your tickets (candidates are not provided with tickets) at the picnic and if we do not connect there, then I will send them to you via "snail mail".
We are going to try to "advertise" via a "sandwich board" in front of the booth as to when our electeds/candidates are going to be at the fair and will be available to converse and respond to questions....we are also planning to set the booth up in such a way that the campaigns/candidates have their materials up front while they are manning the booth, making it easier for them.
We will have local, state and federal information available but our main focus will be Lewis County, the 3rd Congressional district and our state races. If you have any questions concerning any of this please feel free to contact me at 360-740-9868 OR 360-304-8536 OR pennycolleen@yahoo.com
We are looking forward to a fun and productive fair!
