SPRING BLOGFEST 2017 IN THE BOOKS
(logo: NEPA blogs)
Last night's Blogfest in a steady rain was a big success. Blogfest was reinvigorated because organizers have found that in a local election year, it has become a stop for candidates running for office. A myriad of candidates came from near and far. The person who gets the prize for longest trek would be Green Party candidate Jules Mermelstein who is running for a seat on The Pennsylvania Superior Court. My apologies to those who arrived earlier than I did. I had an afternoon commitment with the Knights, then a family event that started at 5:30PM in Old Forge. But I did get there around 7:45 and had the chance to speak with the remaining people there.
John Walton Jr., Wendy Cominsky, Tony Brooks and Iris Rakowski.
Michelle Strumski Bednar, (right) running for re-election for Luzerne County Controller with Mark Barrett, and Angie Fanelli. Harold Jenkins of NEPA blog and Another Monkey and Ben Hoon. Harold is also a writer and poet. John Walton, Jr. and Bob McDonald. Matt Vough, Tom Bindus and Polly Delaney. A crowd shot taken earlier. We were discussing a remake of the film "The Three Amigos" but some say Duke and I are even too liberal for Hollywood. Here I am flanked by Mark Barrett and Ben hoon. Jay Sweeney and Marc Dixon. Green Party mainstay Carl Romanelli and Jules Merlmelstein. Thanks to Gort 42 and Mrs. Gort for the photos. SEE YOU ALL, IN THE FALL!!!!!!
