Events and Wally Parks

 You might get tired of this, but here are some events where you can meet the candidates for various offices.

Jen Olsen is having her Musical Fundraiser today , from 3 to 6 pm at Mojo’s in the RME at the corner of 2nd. and Main Streets in downtown Davenport.

 Dale Gilmour commented on the last post that today , from 1 to 3 pm there’s a meet and greet of all candidates for the 6th. Ward. This will be held at the Turner Hall, 2113 E. 11th. in the Village of East Davenport. It is a free event, and the public is invited.

 Also today, from 2-5 pm, LaMark Combs is having a Taco Dinner Fundraiser at 1920 E. 31st. Street in Davenport. A taco dinner with beans and rice is $5.

On Tuesday, October 2nd. at 6 pm, in Vandeveer park, near the fountain, Doc Davis and Barney Barnhill will hold a question and answer session. Refreshments will be served. Any questions call Doc Davis  at 563-650-5645
 On a sad note, on Friday, September 28th, Wally Parks passed away at the age of 94. I’m sure drag strips around the country will have a moment of silence at their next event. We would not have the NHRA as a santioning body for our dragstrips if it wasn’t for this man.  He was an inspiration to many after founding NHRA in 1951.

    I’ve been to the NHRA museum many times….some cool stuff regarding Wally. Unfortunately, NHRA wont be racing at Pomona much longer due the lease running out and the neighbors can’t stand the noise…sad.
