The election is only two weeks away and campaigning is becoming more intense and more frequent.

Saturday was a day in the park — so to speak.

We headed over to the park at Oaks North late Saturday afternoon where the homeowners hosted an annual picnic. Candidates were there, as well and we had a chance to meet people, talk with them, and ask for their votes. And the hamburgers weren't bad, either.

It was a low-key get-together — lots of food, children playing, and good conversation about the future of Addison.

We're preparing to send a mailing to Addison citizens in the next few days. It's a lot of work but will pay off in reaching out to voters, asking for your support.
