Southwest Virginia Democrats will be gathering in Marion, on June 10, 2006, to select their congressional candidate. The convention will be at the Marion Senior High School, starting at 11:00 AM. This cannot be confirmed, but I hear some guy named "Boucher" is the favorite for the nomination. This will no doubt be a huge upset. :)
Following the convention, there will be a short Ninth District Committee meeting at 12:30 PM.
Hope to see you all there. Directions in the extended entry.
Here are some directions to the highschool:
1) Get on I-81 and head to Exit 45.
2) Northbound traffic turn left at the exit stop sign, southbound traffic turn right at exit stop sign onto Route 16.
3) You will pass the state hospital complex on your right (complete with high fences/guard towers).
4) Go to the end of this road and turn right at the last (2nd) traffic light.
5) Bear left onto Route 16 again almost immediately at the Chevron Station. Do not go up the long/steep hill directly in front of you prior to the turn.
6) At the next traffic light you will see a Hardee's on your left. Go straight through this light.
7) Pass through a 2nd traffic light and then cross some rail road tracks.
8) At the next (3rd) traffic light at the Wendy's/Rite Aid (located on your left) and KFC/Taco Bell (located on your right) turn right and go up the hill.
9) At the top of the hill, turn left onto Stage Street. Marion Sr. High School will be the 2nd school on your right after Marion Intermediate School.
