Daines to Keynote Harvest Festival

Senator Steve Daines will be the keynote speaker Sunday, September 11, at the JeffCo Republican Fall Harvest Festival BBQ Banquet planned for 5 PM at The Barn at Kleffner Ranch, 305 MT Hwy 518, East Helena.

The Lincoln Reagan Trump event will begin at 3:00 PM with horse-drawn wagon rides, a happy hour sponsored by Chubbys of Clancy, and live music so that attendees can greet and talk with state and county candidates, and begin bidding on silent auction items. Emcee Scott Mendenhall will convene the evening program at 5:00 PM with Sen. Daines speaking first, followed by the introduction of all candidates present and brief remarks from all who have a contested race on November 8.

An open-pit BBQ dinner of chicken and pulled pork, with corn on the cob, baked beans, slaw, and a roll will be served by the Hardware Café at 6 PM, followed by a fund-raiser dessert dash and a live auction of “experience packages” valued at $500 or more by auctioneer Steve Mandeville.

Dinner tickets are $30 per person in advance from officers and precinct leaders and $35 at the door, with cash or checks payable to JCRCC, or via Venmo to @JeffcoGOP (in the Venmo app).

Tickets for a chance on the fully engraved Never Forget 9-11 Sig Sauer M400 Tread rifle with Vortex 1-8x 25mm Strike Eagle Scope and Kramer V2 SnipePod will be available.
