Had the opportunity to help out Delegate Ben Cline (24th District) and walk the Effinger Volunteer Fire Dept. Carnival and Parade held on Friday, May 22nd in Effinger VA.
Have to say that I had never been to Effinger VA. before and the parade route is one of the shortest I have ever seen but there was an impressive turnout with both sides of the parade route packed by people from the surrounding communities. Delegate Cline was very well received and was approached by many people along the route wishing to shake his hand and say hello...
Being a "Fireman's" parade there were many units from surrounding communities and I have always enjoyed talking with the Buena Vista Swiftwater Rescue team...
Ben worked the crowd and spent most of his time talking with those who approached him on local issues and to thank him for his efforts in Richmond. The Rockbridge Weekly also had coverage of the event....
Ben with several of the volunteers who came out to support him and the local Republican Party during this event... The float that they put together also represented Bob McDonnell who is running for Virginia Governor and Bill Bolling who is running for re-election as Lt. Governor...
I had the opportunity to speak with several people regarding the McDonnell and Bolling campaigns and there is strong interest and support for both of these guys and the positions they are seeking...
