Last evening from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Sheriff Tim Hutchison & Friends held a BBQ at the I-75 Expo Center. I am pleased to say that the Brian Hornback name was listed on the invitation as a friend. I have been an active supporter of Sheriff Hutchison’s since the first Hutchison race in 1990, when we defeated Joe Fowler a democrat Sheriff.

I am sure that you were at the BBQ, everyone in Knox County was there. I made my intial appearance at the BBQ 30 minutes after it started, even with my position with the Republican Party, I had to park nearly on Clinton Highway. Which means that when I left at the conclusion of the BBQ, I had to walk back to Clinton Highway. Keep in mind this is the former site of a Lowes Home Improvement Warehouse, they have big parking lots. I am not complaining, I needed the exercise.

I waited to post this on Brian’s Blog until I received the phone call about the attendance numbers. The Expo Center has reported to my sources that 1200 were in attendance. Did you hear me on this? One Thousand Two Hundred. I am sure the Expo Center and/or caterer came up with that number by the number of plates given out. That doesn’t take into consideration someone like me, I didn’t take a plate and eat the food. I grabbed my addictive beverage of choice and talked to most of my Republican and Democrat friends. Yes, there were many Democrats in attendance.

BTW (by the way) my addictive beverage of choice, Coffee. I drink nearly six cups a day. I have seen another blog post that reported some good news about Coffee and I will be posting about it soon.
