Harvest Homecoming Success

By the Floyd County Democratic Party

With the booths packed away, the streets cleaned, and the people gone, New Albany has concluded its 39th annual Harvest Homecoming Celebration. Although this year's event started cold - Thursday saw temperatures as low as 35 degrees - the event appeared to be a large success.

Hundreds of people enjoyed the Boy Scouts grilled corn, the Masonic donuts, and the FOP's baked goods. For Democrats, it appeared to be a busy year as Mushrooms sold out early Sunday. Special thanks to our party's Booth committee, headed by Tom Cannon and Matthew Nash. Without their help, we couldn't have organized such an effort.

Baron Hill signs were also popular among Harvest Goers as Democrats spotlight their candidates in our promotional booth. Located at the corner of Bank and Market Streets, the booth also handed out Democratic bumper stickers, candidate literature, balloons, and bags.
Special thanks to our candidates for providing the lion's share of the workers for the booth, ensuring that our positive message reaches voters.

By all measures, Harvest 2006 appears to have been a great success. But there is no rest for Democrats - time to kick-up our heels and march on to the election and victory as November 7th approaches.
