We were able to recruit nearly twenty new members to the HCGOP at the Aynor Harvest Hoe-Down event on September 18 2021. Historians within our party have claimed that this is a new record for recruitment by a wide margin, and we owe this success to the numerous committee members who organize and manage our events. A special recognition of gratitude goes out to Elizabeth Caton and her extraordinary efforts to plan and deliver this successful event.
