Trying out a Fort Mill bar to change it up this month! Meet us at Replay Brewing in Kingsley just off exit 85. Look for us on the side patio. Replay is a kid-friendly space with old school video games, wine slushies and beer. There are a few pub bites, but they also let you bring food in or have it delivered (from Panera, Smashburger, Taco Molina). Toast to $83.3 million, to having one primary behind us, to making it through January! We'll bring name tags this time to help you meet (and remember lol) new friends. See you at 6:30.

State Senator Wes Climer Facebook Town Hall

Republican State Senator Wes Climer (SC 15) is holding a Facebook Town Hall at 6 pm Wednesday (Feb 7). SC 15 covers a big chunk of the middle of York County. The Town Hall is open to everyone, and he'll be taking questions posted as comments on the event Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/events/740317974732664/?ref=newsfeed

Climer held a Town Hall just a few days ago, and I put an edited version on the YCDP TV YouTube channel and podcast. It's just 5 minutes, and it'll give you an idea of just how far right he is.
