SUMMARY:Democratic BBQ shines a light on politics\, music and candidates
DESCRIPTION:Under the theme of “Light the Way Forward\,” the New Canaan Democrats will be hosting its annual BBQ fundraiser\, complete with live music and meaningful conversations\, Sunday\, Sept. 14\, at the New Canaan Carriage Barn Arts Center from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.\nAs in years past\, the special afternoon is a way to cement long-term friendships while making new ones at a gathering to support and build a brighter\, stronger New Canaan. By attending\, attendees will get a chance to meet and talk with the outstanding roster of Democratic candidates running to serve the town in this year’s local elections\, such as the Board of Selectmen\, Town Council and Board of Education.\nThe barbecue is also expected to draw notable federal and state officials\, based on experience in previous years. In prior years\, U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal\, Chris Murphy and Rep. Jim Himes made appearances and spoke to the crowds. Similarly\, state officials\, including Sen Ceci Maher and Reps. Lucy Dathan and Savet Constantine have been joined by town officials and local candidates to share in the event\, describe their accomplishments and mix with the crowd.\n“In addition to having a great time among friends\,” said DTC Chair Tim Klimpl\, “now more than ever is the time to show up. Your support and presence at this year’s barbeque will lay the foundation for supporting our Democratic officials in local office and provide momentum to expand the roster of Democrats serving as town leaders. We know they will do the hard work\, stand for shared values and further New Canaan’s future. But we can’t do it without your support.”\nThe donation to attend the BBQ is $90 per person\, with free admission for anyone under 18-years-old.

This barbeque is always a good time while making it possible for our candidates to do good for our communities.” \n
