The 2009 Benton County Republican Barbecue was held on August 20th in the Beer Gardens at the Philomath Frolic Rodeo Grounds in Philomath, Oregon. Linn County Republicans joined us for the evening. A social gathering began at 5 p.m. with dinner starting at 6 p.m. Sandy McHenry and his volunteer crew fired up the barbecue and bean pot early in the day for a fabulous Tri-tip beef and chicken dinner. Lynda McHenry filled out the menu with her crew of Republican volunteers. Bob Tiernan, Chairman of the Oregon Republican Party was the main speaker. Also speaking were candidates Sid Leiken and Jaynee Garmond, running for Congress (Dist. 4) and Jerry J. Jackson, Sr., running for Benton County Commissioner, Position 1. (More details coming). John Wilder chaired the event with PCP's and the BCRW assisting.
