Nelson County Dems celebrate their candidates – then dash after dessert
On Friday night, about seventy Dems from Nelson County shared a meal together, listened to candidates from the top of the ticket on down, heard a keynote speech that was accompanied by a cartoon slide deck – and then dashed after their dessert.
The event was organized by the Nelson County Democratic Women’s Club, and held at the Bardstown Country Club. The emcee was Martha Nest, the president of the club, and the crowd ranged from Young Democrats to long-time elected officials.
