Kucinich fans set for "Inaugural Ball" Friday
ROSEBURG: Supporters of presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich plan to go one better than last month's "Who Wants to Marry a Presidential Candidate" pageant. They plan to hold an Inaugural Ball for Kucinich, even though the candidate hasn't won a single primary.
Kathryn Maxwell of Tuscon, Ariz., the winner of the pageant, will return to preside over the ball, to be held Friday at the Umpqua Valley Arts Center, 1624 W. Harvard Ave.
The gathering will include political skits, talent presentations, music and dancing. Maxwell will also deliver an inaugural address.
The evening is meant to be all in fun, while spreading the word about Kucinich and his political platform, organizers said.
Kucinich, the former mayor of Cleveland who serves in the House of Representatives, supports workers rights, opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq and was the only presidential candidate to vote against the USA Patriot Act in Congress.
The event, which will be held from 6 to 9 p.m., is free of charge.
Information: Kathryn Dailey at 670-6129, Ext. 101, or 673-8276.
