Chenango Republicans prepare for annual fundraiser
CHENANGO COUNTY – Preparations are underway for the Chenango County Republican Committee’s 35th annual Lobster Festival, to be held from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 19 at the Canasawacta Country Club.
Boasted as the county’s only “non-political, political event,” the Lobster Festival serves as the only fundraiser for the Chenango Republican Committee. Originally organized by Clarence D. “Rapp” Rappleyea, the Lobster Fest has long served as an opportunity for Chenango residents to interact with their local and state representatives over a casual meal and good conversation.
Chenango Republican Committee Chairman Thomas Morrone said attending this year’s events will be Chenango County officials including Judge Howard Sullivan, Mayor Joseph Maiurano and several town supervisors, all of whom will be up for election in 2009. In addition, Morrone said, state representatives like Senator Thomas Libous (R-Binghamton), Senator James Seward (R-Oneonta), Assemblyman Clifford Crouch (R-Guilford), Assemblyman Gary Finch (R-Springport) and Assemblyman Peter Lopez (R-Schoharie) have already been invited to attend. Candidates who may run for office in the coming years have also been invited to attend. “We’ve invited Rick Lazio, who is considering the possibility of running for Governor,” Morrone said. The committee chairman also said he hopes the candidates considering a run for the position of Sheriff will consider attending the event.
“I’ve always said this is more of a good, fun day than a political fundraiser,” Morrone said. “It gives people on both sides of the aisle an opportunity to get together and talk.”
Morrone said the big issues to be discussed at this year’s Lobster Fest will most likely center around the economy and jobs. “As the Republican chairman, my number one concern for Chenango County and the surrounding area is jobs and the economy,” Morrone said. While those issues are a concern, Morrone said, circumstances in Chenango County don’t seem to get as good or bad as they are in other parts of the county. “We generally stay in the middle,” he said.
Tickets to the Lobster Festival will cost $60, and each person in attendance will receive two lobsters with their admission. Morrone said the committee works in conjunction with Price Chopper to secure the lobsters for the event. “We always appreciate their cooperation,” he said.
Tickets for this year’s event are available at Christman Motors, Chiarino Insurance or from Village of Greene Mayor Marcia Miller.
