Story & Photography by Tony Centonze The Wilma Rudolph Event Center was the site of one of the biggest events that has been held since the pandemic began, as approximately 400 guests came out for this year’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner, hosted by the Montgomery County Republican Party.

Brenda Graham said, “This is our biggest annual fundraiser, and this year’s event has been huge, Graham said. “We’ve sold right at 400 tickets for tonight’s event. I think everyone was ready to get back out into the real world, see their friends, and start working toward getting us back to where we want to be.”

The night was filled with messages from Republican leaders. Senator Marsha Blackburn, Congressman Mark Green and several state office holders took their turn at the podium. The night’s Featured Speaker was Tennessee Governor Bill Lee.

“It was wonderful having them all here tonight,” Graham said. “Governor Lee has been here before. Tonight’s his first time since being elected Governor. His message tonight is that we’re going to survive, and that we’ll be working hard to get back to where we need to be. Governor Lee says he is proud that Tennessee is not in debt. And, he expressed his appreciation for our police officers and first responders, and the work they do.”
