Republicans for Sussex County held its Big Tent Event July 13, at the American Legion Post 28 on Legion Road near Millsboro.
The event featured an old-fashioned picnic of pulled chicken, pulled pork, sides, chips, ice cream and cold drinks. Attendees also had the chance to win $100 and participate in a ticket auction for a red wine basket or a white wine basket.
Louis Briggs II, chair of Republicans for Sussex, said, “This event is something that we have every year. It’s a chance for like-minded people to get together, to socialize and to support Nikki Miller, who is running for state representative of the 20th District.”
Among the event’s speakers was Sussex County Sheriff Robert Lee, who announced publicly he will not seek re-election.
