2008 Forum Photos

Special Thanks goes out to local singer Valerie Smith who volunteered her services at no charge for the event . I forgot to thank her at the forum! *yikes* Sorry Val! She is the author of the Song, Ode to the Santa Ritas which can be heard here.

This guy (gal?) just had to keep adding his (her?) two cents-making this a truly "rural forum"


Thanks to a great group of responsive candidates and WONDERFUL group of volunteers, we had over 100 people attend our event, even with the horrible winds and rain!


Many thanks to the Walkers for the use of their guest ranch. We couldn't have done it without them!


We will keep adding photos and information from the event as both become available.


Here's to this sort of multi-partisan educational and informational event becoming even more popular in the following years!


Temporary rain reprieve.
