The Platte County Democratic Hall of Fame on November 5th honoring and inducting Meg Harding, Ted Wilson and Don Witt (posthumously) was a great success!

  

The dinner event held at the Hilton Kansas City Airport Hotel was well attended. The evening began with a meet and greet, a silent auction and a chance to get your photo taken with Harry Truman.

 

Master of Ceremonies, Kansas City's Second District City Councilman Ed Ford kept the program moving through the induction ceremony and live auction.  Through the generosity of the attendees and the many Platte County businesses that supported this great event, the Platte County Democrats had a fund raising success  - a good start toward supporting our Democratic Candidates in 2012.
