UKCD Invades Roanoke, VA

This past weekend, I along with a group of other College Democrats, made the trek to Roanoke Virginia to campaign for Creigh Deeds (Candidate for Governor).

We left Lexington, KY around 5pm on Friday and arrived in Roanoke around midnight.  We got put up by some great people in the community, with some amazing homes.  Here's the view from my bedroom window:

On Saturday, the campaign hooked us up with free breakfast and lunch and sent us out into the Roanoke Valley where we knocked on over 300 doors, reminding people to vote and trying to gauge their support from Creigh Deeds and the rest of the Democratic ticket.

Sunday, we had breakfast with the Mayor and his mom, two amazing people who treated us like we were family.  Mayor Bowers bought us food for the road, helped us out with gas money, and took us up to Mill Mountain where we saw The Star City of the South's namesake.

I want to close this off by saying a huge thank you to all of the people who helped us out this past weekend, you all made it a truly fantastic trip and we can't wait to be back this coming weekend to help you elect Creigh Deeds.
