Lake County Democrats’ annual barbecue will go on as planned at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, at Obsidian Middle School despite that campus venue being threatened by the Boyles Fire. The event is sold out. (See details.)
Party officials expressed gratitude for staff at Konocti Unified School District, especially maintenance office assistant Olivia Jaramillo Campos, who have worked to ensure the Cornelison Event Center is cleaned and ready for use.
Event organizers also expressed sympathy for families displaced by the Boyles Fire, and asked those planning to attend the barbecue to consider bringing a gift card or gas card to be collected at the event. Lake County Democrats will then provide them to an authorized organization to support those impacted by the fire.
