23. I have been to the Happy Spot many times.

Jun 2019

The Whiteside County Democrats hold their annual fundraiser there. We have our JFK dinner at a nearby golf course. The Happy Spot burned down a couple of years ago, so we have been going elsewhere. I guess they have rebuilt it.

There are a lot of Democrats in Whiteside County. Now is a good time to make inroads on the GOTV over there.

We have a farm in a county adjacent to Whiteside. There will be no crop this year. It just won't be planted.

And I think this may be a "both sides" article. Quite a few of those people will not be voting for Trump. Also, they have a Democratic Congress person who serves on the ag committee and quite a few state reps in the area who are Democrats. We will make inroads.
