Annual Boone County Democrats Day celebration will be held Sunday in the multipurpose building at the Boone County Fairgrounds. Doors open at 1 p.m., speeches start around 2:30 p.m. and dinner will be served after 5 p.m. Admission and the dinner are free of charge.
Rep. Paul LeVota (D), minority leader in the Missouri House of Representatives, will give the keynote speech.
Democratic candidates for local and state office were invited to speak and meet with voters. Donated items — including desserts made by candidates — will be up for grabs in a live auction. Traditional picnic fare will be served to the sounds of local musicians. Last year, over 270 people attended, according Mark Buhrmester of the Boone County Democrats.
