Sanders campaign center to open Saturday

SILVER CITY— Grant County Bernie Sanders supporters will have a Campaign Center in Silver City beginning this weekend. It's a first in New Mexico, where Sanders support has been growing rapidly. There will be an grand opening for the facility, located at 215 W. Broadway, at noon on Saturday.

There will be bumper stickers, T-shirts, and yard signs, as well as hot dogs and burritos. Other events will include a made-in-the-USA fashion show. There will also be an open mic songs and talk. A slogan composing contest for all the writers in town for the Southwest Festival of the Written Word is also planned.

Flyers about Bernie's platform will be available in both English and Spanish. Video presentations will be shown. In Bernie's Backroom Boutique, visitors will find all the good stuff left over from the yard sale the group had on Sept. 12.

After the grand opening, the Campaign Center will be open daily from noon to 3 p.m. Evening events are planned with focus on particular issues of concern in Grant County.
