On Saturday, July 3rd, the Benton County Republicans held their annual Independence Day Breakfast. The menu included pancakes and French toast with a choice of Marion berry, blueberry and strawberry compotes or butter and syrup, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browned potatoes, coffee, tea, fresh spring water and chilled orange juice. Wayne Goehring, singer/guitarist, added ambiance as his patriotic music wafted through the warming morning air. Door prize numbers were called throughout the event. Republican candidates, Art Robinson for U.S. Congress, Frank Morse for State Senate, Andy Olson and Rose Cook for State Representative and Jerry Jackson for County Commissioner, donned aprons, took a turn in the serving line, gave brief speeches and chatted easily with guests. It was a beautiful morning to celebrate our independence and recognize those who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to achieve it. May we make the right choices to preserve it. God bless America!
