ADAIR COUNTY DEMOCRATS

I heard glowing reports about the food, fun and speeches from Saturday's Adair County Democratic Party Rally.

The crowd was estimated at more than 300 for the BBQ and keynote speech by Governor Brad Henry. Senator Jim Wilson was the emcee.

Atha Jean Pettigrew was recognized as Adair County Democrat Activist of the Year. Other nominees included Jack Adair, Aaron Barton, Danny Benoit, Sam Chandler, Kenny Davidson, Virginia Ford, Vivian Garrett, George Hensley, Leonard Jones, Bruce Morris, Neil Morton, Regina Ruckman, Billy Jack Smith and Burlan Woods.

Event sponsors included Bill and Linda Langley, Rick and Suzanne Doherty, Danny and Jessie Curtis, Larry and Jan Adair, Mike Wininger, Jim Bennett, Rhondas Pritchett, Morris Jones, John Pettigrew, Danny Braden, Jan Huffman, Jim and Mary Bagby and Danya Curtis.

Congratulations to Chairman Danny Curtis and Co-chair Deanne Watt!
