Congressman Collin Peterson will be in Alexandria on Tuesday this week

Collin Peterson will be visiting at Campaign Headquarters at 418 Broadway in Alexandria on August 24, 2010. He will be arriving after 3:00 p.m.

An eating, talking and singing affair is being planned, however, which will commence at 2:30 p.m. as we wait for Peterson’s arrival. We’ve been hoping for months for a visit from our congressman, so we hope our Democrats and friends will turn out in numbers. A ten dollar ticket will be sold at the door to assist with local office and coordinated campaign expenses.
