Calvin Coolidge Banquet Interrupted by Bomb Threat

We must be doing something right.

Tonight's Western Mass Republican Dinner was briefly interrupted by a phoned-in bomb threat. When we were told about it, everyone shrugged it off and everyone stayed in the room for the end of the program. Only in Western Massachusetts. Nothing screams tolerance like bomb threats.

I guess what makes me laugh about the whole thing is how it illustrates the difference between conservatives today and liberals. Liberals are scared of people eating food. Conservatives could care less about a bomb. Amazing.

Regardless, congratulations to the Award Winners Tonight who were all fantastic speakers:

Ronald Reagan Award Winner: Joe Ricco (Southwick)
Republican of the Year: Fmr. State Rep and US Marshall Reed Hillman (Sturbridge)
Public Service Award: Police Chief Anthony Scott (Holyoke)
Chairman of the Year: Rene Laviolette (Westfield)
Lifetime Achievement Award: Walt DiFillipi (West Springfield)

Congrats on an awesome event!
