Oglethorpe County

Low Country Boil a Huge Success

 
 
      Despite heavy rains throughout the day, the 1st Annual Oglethorpe County Republican Party Low Country Boil was a huge success. In a county that has only about 14,000 residents, the Depot in Crawford had almost 400 people in attendance. Other counties like Barrow, Clarke, Elbert, Hart, Franklin, Jackson, Madison, and Oconee and their party members helped to make this have a regional impact, which brought in most of the candidates for statewide office.
 
     The rains forced the crowd into a more confined area, but it gave the candidates attending a chance to speak face-to-face to the masses as they entered to get their food. Throughout the event, the candidates were able to address the crowd for a few minutes, with brief intermissions for songs by a phenomenal 10-year old Country music singer, Sylvia Walker. Big name speakers like Rep. Nathan Deal, Secretary of State Karen Handel, and Rep. Paul Broun all spoke to the packed house.
 
     Party Chairman Kirk Shook thanks all the party members who worked to make the event successful. Steve McCannon, event organizer, and Joel Gossett, cooking committee chair, both showed great leadership skills in preparation and execution of the event.
 
     The 2nd Annual Oglethorpe County Republican Party Low Country Boil is tentatively scheduled for September 25, 2010.

Welcome to the Oglethorpe County Republican Party!

            The primary mission of our Party is to recruit and elect Republican officials at the local, state and national level. As a grassroots organization, we strive to identify and train successful, civic-minded individuals to run for, and win, elective office. We are committed to holding our elected officials accountable for practicing common sense in local government.

            We believe that the founding fathers of this country used profound wisdom when they drafted the U.S. Constitution. Our goal, in following this belief, is to promote and pursue common-sense Republican priorities; lower taxes, economic growth through proper planning, individual liberty, improved standards in education and the creation of an environment where each of our citizens can reach their maximum potential; all of which benefit our families and taxpayers.

            The Oglethorpe County Republican Party is dedicated to energizing and cultivating a grassroots organization that is critical in serving as a comprehensive support system for Republican candidates. Our work to change the way business gets done in our county, our state and our nation depends on the generous commitment of both time and financial resources by Republican loyalists like you.

            The Oglethorpe County Republican Party is also committed to keeping county residents informed of the activities of local government. We believe that and informed public is empowered to make positive change.
