Pig roast to feature many special guests

The Goshen Republican Town Committee will hold its Thirteenth Annual Pig Roast Saturday.

GOSHEN >> The Goshen Republican Town Committee will hold its Thirteenth Annual Pig Roast Saturday, Oct. 1 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Goshen Congregational Church.

First Selectman Clay Cope, candidate for the 5th Congressional District will be attending along with state Rep. Craig Miner, candidate for the 30th State Senate District, state Rep. Jay Case and Brian Ohler, candidate for the 64th State House District.

Cope has won five local elections, and is serving his third term as First Selectman for the Town of Sherman. He is widely regarded for his fiscally conservative approach to government. He has successfully managed multimillion dollar municipal budgets. Cope’s stewardship of the Town’s finances enabled the removal of a negative outlook on the town’s debt.

The event, which features a pork roast dinner and other picnic food, such as hot dogs and hamburgers, will be the committee’s kickoff event for the upcoming Presidential election. The roast will be an opportunity for area residents to meet with candidates and Republican Party officials.

Other Republicans who have been invited are U.S. Senate candidate Dan Carter, Sen. Clark Chapin, Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano, House Republican Leader Themis Klarides and state Republican Party Chairman J.R. Romano.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for children 6-12. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door.
