It was a rainy night in Outville on Wednesday evening, June 25th, however over three hundred guests dodged the raindrops to attend the 'Old Fashioned' Ice Cream Social in support of the Re-Election of Licking County Commissioner Tim Bubb.
The event was sponsored by our good friends - Licking County Commissioner Doug Smith and Johnstown Council Member Sharon Hendren. A special 'thanks' to Doug for donating the use of his historic Outville Hay and Grain Company building in Outville, and sponsoring the ice cream. And, as well, a special 'thanks' to all the members of my family, as well as Doug and Sharon's families, and more than a dozen other supporters for making the evening a major success. I would mention everyone by name, but I fear forgetting someone!
I was honored to see so many supporters, and new and old friends - republicans and democrats - turn out between the thundershowers to enjoy the good fun, bluegrass music, and ice cream and cookies. The support of so many people, from so many areas and 'walks of life' is humbling. I hope I was able to get to each and every person to express my 'thanks' for the continued support; and if I missed, you please know how much your presence was appreciated!
In addition to the great food, Doug and his family opened their historic mill and personal museum for tours, and Commissioner Smith was seen giving tours, playing the harmonica and popping corn at virtually the same time - indeed the master of multi-tasking!
If you missed the event - don't fret! We are planning other fundraising and 'meet the candidate' events between now and November.
Several photos are attached including shots of the ice cream crew, attendees enjoying the goodies, and Doug Smith entertaining some future voters. I should also mention that the newest member of my family grandson Elijah was on hand, and at two months of age he wasn't sure what the excitement was all about. Seen in the photo above, grandmother Marianne has him well under control! Eli has indicated he is looking forward to joining his grandfather and Commissioner in future parades, when he is done napping!

In the top photo, the 'cute as a button' little girl in the chair Jordan Ellis, the daughter of Jeff Ellis and Holli Hendren-Ellis, Holli is the daughter of Sharon Hendren. I don't think Jordan will be old enough to vote in November - but just having her in 'my corner' is a winning combination!
