LAKE COUNTY – The Republican Party of Lake County held its 10th annual Lincoln Day Dinner and Republican of the Year Award on Saturday, Feb. 21, to a sold-out crowd.
The speaker was Holly Swanson, author of “Set Up and Sold Out: Find Out What Green Really Means.”
Swanson turned out to be an extremely convincing, electrifying speaker, who in her well-documented book takes the position that the Green Party, made up primarily of radicals and leftover Communists, has an agenda that has little to do with green. A rousing question and answer session followed.
“Republican of the Year Award” winners honored this year were Penny Lunt and Greg Scott for their extraordinary performance and service to our citizens and party. Their special awards were presented by party Chairman Randy Ridgel.
The club thanks everyone for attending. The event was a success and a good time was had by all.

Categories which are currently without nominations are Youth Advocate/Professional, Arts Award Professional and Environmental.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, Feb. 27, and the nomination form can be found at www.lakeportchamber.com.
Nominations can also be submitted in writing to P.O. Box 295, Lakeport, 95453 or faxed to 263-5104.
The Stars Selection Committee will meet on March 12 to make their decisions on each category, after they have had approximately one week to review all the nominations.
Details and completeness are most important for all nominations, as they provide the selection committee with the materials upon which to cast their votes.
The chamber staff are contacting those nominators who have not provided enough information for their nominees. They request that nominators provide additional names/contacts for their nominations, if they feel the information they have provided falls short on details, said Melissa Fulton, chamber chief executive officer.
The Lake County community has once again stepped up to sponsor this event, with almost 30 businesses sponsoring the category awards, wine and dinner, said Fulton.
They've revamped the program this year with the assistance of Konocti Harbor to make it more affordable for everyone.
Dinner tickets for this years' Stars Awards are $50 per person and, as always, you may choose your table when you purchase your ticket.
The evening's festivities will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the reception hour, dinner is served at 5:30 and the Awards program will start promptly at 7 p.m.
Local entertainers are being featured during the Stars dinner hour with David Neft providing music during the reception, dinner and awards ceremony.
“David has been with us every year and his performances always add so much to the evening,” said Chamber President Jan Parkinson.
A special treat for an “After Stars” celebration will be the Lake County Diamonds playing in the lounge at Konocti Harbor Resort & Spa. Their show will begin at the close of the Stars program, approximately 8:30 p.m.
