This past weekend, my campaign team and I were busy knocking doors in the Village of Onekama in Manistee County and Inland Township (a more rural part of Benzie County)… we made lots of contacts and identified many supporters! I want you to know that we have had great success on the doorstep and always love to have volunteers come along with us. If you are interested in joining, you can email our walk coordinator, Tracy at tracy@danscripps.com.

Along with knocking doors, we also stopped at the Annual Dog Parade in my hometown of Northport. The theme this year was “Indiana Bones and the Temple of the Lost Bark” – you can see pictures of my puppy Nessie and me on my Flickr page here. There were over 200 dogs and their owners in the parade – we were number 105, with many more to follow! It is the quirky little parades like this one that make the small towns and villages of the 101st District so special… and one of my favorite ways to introduce myself to supporters.

We also made it to the 3rd Annual Trap Shoot and Pig Roast, held at the Sylvan Creek Lodge in Wellston. Many supporters came out to enjoy the Great Outdoors and munch on the roast pig compliments of Mark DiBennedetto. Team Scripps placed in the Top 2 with a total of 12 points. You can also find pictures of the Trap Shoot on my Flickr page here.

Check back every Monday to read our weekend recaps, and let us know if you are interested in coming along!
