FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington Court House, OH, September 14, 2008 (CRFS Newswire): For the third time this year, Circuit Riders For Stratton battled severe weather to ride and meet voters in all 88 Ohio Counties.
A fast moving windstorm, with hurricane force winds, bore down on the Washington Court House Scarecrow Festival and the Fayette County GOP Picnic in this Central Ohio city this afternoon.
"It was very scary," said Circuit Rider For Stratton Donna Miller. "Tents were blowing down and families with small children were running for cover everywhere. Washington Court House and Fayette County first-responders did an excellent job of preventing injuries at the festival."
"As we rode from the festival to the Fayette County GOP Picnic on the outskirts of Washington Court House, we avoided downed trees and rode past darkened homes," added Pete Miller. "Many local residents had fled to the safety of Jack DeWeese's barn, where the picnic was being held."
Circuit Riders For Stratton thanked picnic attendees who were working so hard to reelect Ohio Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Stratton.
Earlier this year, a tent came crashing down on top of Pete and his Harley during a freak gusty wind and rain storm in Delaware County. Later, Pete & Donna were driven back fifty miles on their Harley through Paulding, Van Wert, Mercer and Darke Counties by dramatic cloud-to-ground lightening and torrential rains in another severe storm with a tornado watch attached.
"Those first pioneering Ohio judicial circuit riders way back in 1803 were really brave men," added Donna. "They road all year on horseback and had no warning of bad weather or a GPS or Harley to ease their ride. But they, like us, had wonderful Ohio citizens to protect them and to show them the way."
Ride Safe! . . . Ride on to reelect Ohio Supreme Court Justice Evelyn L. Stratton!
