Lafayette County Republican Lincoln Dinner draws sold-out crowd despite heavy storms in the area.

LAFAYETTE COUNTY REPUBLICAN LINCOLN DINNER

APRIL 25, 2024

WELLINGTON, MISSOURI

Heavy winds knocked out the power, but Lafayette County Republican Lincoln Dinner went on with sold-out crowd enjoying Gov. Mike Parson's address as keynote. It turned out to be an impressive event with hundreds of people fed, with generators and make-shift lights. Nadler's Catering provided their usual delicious fare, and we also had a dessert bar of pies and cupcakes. After the Governor's keynote address, candidates running for statewide offices and for state senate and house seats each addressed the crowd. Thanks also to the Concordia Veterans Honor Guard who posted the colors. 

And most importantly, thank you to all who braved the storm to be with us!
