Someone has said that come August, if you’re not “down the shore” you’re at the Goshen Country Fair. That’s certainly true for our hard-working and fun-loving East Goshen Democratic volunteers and candidates, who turned out in force at the Fair last week. Here are a few photo highlights.
Fair preparations included stuffing school backpacks with useful supplies (and valuable gift cards!) to be raffled off. Here, from left,: Marie Knox, Walter Wujcik, Edda Schwartz, and Clara Thorne fill backpacks for the raffle. (Photo: Julieta Calmon)
Taking advantage of our high-traffic location next to the donut stand, candidates and volunteers reached out to fairgoers. Here, a volunteer for candidate Fredda Maddox (Judge, Chester County Court of Common Pleas) distributes campaign literature. Behind her is a sign for our Civics Trivia Quiz — everyone who participated received a free copy of the U.S. Constitution. Plus, there’s a display for the backpack raffle, not to mention candidate signs galore. (Photo: Clara Thorne)

A Letter to the Editor from Precinct 8 Committee Person John Groch was published in the July 14 Philadelphia Inquirer. John noted the hypocritical behavior of “Moms for Liberty” co-founder Tina Descovich, who advocated the removal of “misrepresentation and misinformation” from public discourse — and then turned right around and promoted her own misinformation. As he concluded, “So much for removing misrepresentation and misinformation.” The full text of John’s letter is at https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/letters/letters-to-the-editor-july-14-2023-20230714.html .
