Promoting democracy in Utah one pint at a time.
Promoting democracy in Utah one pint at a time.
From the Utah Democratic News Network:
“On Saturday, July 29 Utah Democrats will be gathering at Washington Park in Parleys Canyon east of Salt Lake for a Democratic Family Reunion. Democrats in all 50 states will be participating in similar gatherings around the country that day as well.
Democrats from all over Utah are invited to bring the whole family to this event. If you can’t make it, plan a reunion of your own for Democrats in your precinct, legislative district or county to participate in and let us know where your event will be taking place.
The Washington Park event will feature games, great food and an excellent opportunity to get to know one another better. At the event we will launch a voter contact effort asking Democrats to contact 100 voters over the course of the 100 days following July 29th to help us build on the momentum we have already established this year.
Please mark your calendars now to attend the Utah Democratic Family Reunion on July 29. Washington Park is located just east of the Mountain Dell Golf Course. Take Exit 134 on I-80 eastbound. Activities will begin at noon. We will let you know as more details become available. “
