"BETHEL — Saturday night was a who’s who of Western North Carolina Republicans, from the local level all the way up to national.
The event, a western themed Fall Harvest Shindig, was held at the GOP County Chairman Kenneth Henson’s house featured a barbecue dinner, a cakewalk and games, and country and rock tunes provided by Jody Medford and his band.
Present were local officials, such as County Commissioner Kevin Ensley and District Attorney Ashley Welch, state representatives Mike Clampitt and Michele Presnell, State Senator Jim Davis and even Congressman Mark Meadows, who had to make the trek back up to Washington, D.C. following the event.
Henson said he thinks the shindig was the largest and most successful of that kind that he’s seen. He said the strong turnout and positive atmosphere is indicative of a greater sense of unity which has been fostered since he took over the party."
