Davenport Day Dinner for Windham County Democrats 10/19/12

Windham County Democrats assembled for their biennial Davenport Day Dinner on Friday, Oct. 19, at the American Legion on Linden Street.  With Congressman Peter Welch on hand to on bring attendees up to date on legislative affairs in Washington, D.C., attendees honored Charles N. Davenport, a prominent lawyer and supporter of the Democratic Party who founded the Windham County Reformer — now the Brattleboro Reformer — in 1876 in part because of Republican bias in coverage by the Vermont Phoenix, the main political paper in the state. Other local and statewide candidates also attended.
