Fred Smith BBQs Getting Larger As Campaign Heats Up

Kinston High School in Lenoir County was a milestone for the Senator Fred Smith 100 County BBQ Tour, the 68th BBQ Tour event was the last BBQ of 2007. Click on the title to this article above and you can see from the map Fred has been to every region of North Carolina as the sea of red on the map indicates.

However as the Tour comes to its close, the BBQs of 2008 are getter bigger and bigger. One of the last in our area is about to happen, and it is generating huge excitement. On Monday February 25th, 2008 at 6:30 PM Fred Smith is coming to the Vernon James Center in Plymouth, Washington Couty, North Carolina.




Fred always talks about why he is going to the effort to visit all 100 counties in North Carolina at least once each during this primary campaign. He tells about growing up in the Methodist Orphanage in Raleigh, and the struggles in business which ultimately were rewarded by success.




What is clear is how many people are coming to love this man as they get to know him well. As the campaign covers the state more and more people are showing up. Last night they had the 89th BBQ in this incredible effort to get out and meet the people of NC. Click here to read the News & Observer article about the event.





As usual Fred's speech was interrupted by applause on many occasions as Fred hit on the points that people really care about.

When he finishes his speech there are always a great number of people who want Fred to autograph his biography for them.

Fred really lives the theme of his autobiography, "The difference between good and great is a little extra effort."

The Washington County BBQ is going to be a great campaign rally for all the people who are coming to love this great man. Come out on February 25th to meet Fred Smith personally. You will not be sorry you did. This is going to be a huge rally as the 100 County BBQ Tour comes to an end.
