On Saturday, October 18th, 2008, MySaline hosted “Picnic & Politics,” a political forum, at Tyndall Park’s Julie Busken Amphitheatre in Benton. Candidates from City, County, State and Judicial races spoke on behalf of their campaign. Shelli Russell, owner of MySaline.com introduced the event and Senator Shane Broadway served as emcee, since he was not running for election in 2008. Below are photos and video from the day’s events.
