No Good Deed Goes Unrecorded.....

Good morning!

It's been a while, but I have been busy on the campaign trail this past week.

Last Friday, I travelled up to Hillsborough for the Hillsborough Balloon Festival and 5K road race. 200 runners came out to run in the race while a larger number of people cheered us on at the start and finish. I met some new people, caught up with some of my runner friends and ran a personal best of 22:08 for my age. Many thanks to race director Jenny Bronson and her team for putting on a successful event! Afterwards, I walked around and met more people watching the balloons going up into the air. Overall, a great time. Special thanks to Hillsborough Republican State Representative candidate Dave Fullerton for these pictures of me at the race.

On Sunday, I came back to the Festival to march in the parade. Please check out my pictures on the events page. Lots and lots of families, their friends and seniors came out to watch the bands, the floats and candidates, such as myself, march in the parade. Again, a great time was had by all. Congradulations to Carle Grabowski and her team for a well-organize, class act parade. Special thanks to supporters Joan and Tom Harvey of Hillsborough, and their boys, Cameron and Jacob, for helping me out at the parade and introducing me to their friends.

While the balloons didn't go up due to a beautiful, but windy day, spectators were entertained by the Firefighter's Muster. The fire departments of Hillsborough, Antrim, Deering, Hancock and others were well-represented in competition. The crowds were equally impressed with their speed and skill. It was a great opportunity to see our first responders demonstrate their abilities in competition.

That's all for now. I have more events to talk about, but the day is beginning.

So, I'll post later.
