On Thursday, August 19th, the Benton County Republicans held their annual Republican Barbecue at Les Wheeler's beautiful farm on Kiger Island in Corvallis, Oregon. With a talented crew of volunteers, Sandy McHenry barbecued his fabulous Tri-tip beef and chicken dinner with Cowboy beans and the meal was rounded out with green salad, warm garlic bread and cake or watermelon for dessert. Approximately 250 guests attended the event. In this extremely important election year we were thrilled that nearly all of our Republican candidates were able to attend and speak briefly. They were, Chris Dudley for Governor, Jim Huffman for U.S. Senate, Art Robinson for the Fourth Congressional District, Scott Bruun for the Fifth Congressional District, Chris Telfer for State Treasurer, Sen. Frank Morse for State Senate, Rep. Andy Olson for State Representative of District 15, Rose Cook for State Representative of District 16, Rep. Jim Thompson for State Representative of District 23, Jerry Jackson for Benton County Commissioner, Mark O'Brien for Corvallis City Council Ward 1 and John Detweiler for Corvallis City Council Ward 6. Rick Schroff for Corvallis City Council Ward 7 was unable to attend. Our appreciation to our host, our guests, candidates and volunteers who made this event a great success.
