Indiana County Democratic Summer Picnic 2008

Over 100 people joined in for the 2008 Democratic Summer Picnic at August 8th in Homer City. Mike Charnego was our professional auctioneer this year - auctioning donated services, goods, crafts, and homemade treats and raising over $1,500 for the Democratic Committee.

A Family Affair catering provided an excellent meal of fried chicken, pulled pork, pigs-in-the-blanket, corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, salads, and homemade desserts. We also enjoyed games for the children and special entertainment by juggler Eric Bonazza. Thanks for everyone who attended and helped out!
