LAKESHORE - Members of the Winston County Republican Women of Alabama are busy making final preparations for the first Free State Feast.
This year’s event will take place Thursday, October 22, at the Looney’s Amphitheater Complex in Double Springs, located off of Highway 278 in the Lakeshore area. Doors to The Lodge will open at 5:30 p.m., with the dinner starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are $25 each.
The scheduled speakers for this year’s event include Congressman Robert Aderholt and Alabama Senate President Pro Tempore Garlan Gudger. In attendance will also be leaders from across our state. This will provide the perfect opportunity for all who attend to meet the people who will help guide the future of Alabama.
Brittany Bailes, co-organizer, stated, “Most importantly, we want everyone to come in jeans - comfortable, ready to meet and greet. This is truly a come as you are event.”
The atmosphere will be a casual, relaxed dinner with a wonderful meal. Numerous sponsors have made this fundraiser possible.
