Welcome to me pre-vacation column. I’ll be out next week enjoying some well-deserved time off, so I’d appreciate it if everyone refrained from doing anything important until I get back.
State Representative Randy Hunt (R – Sandwich) has a few campaign events coming up. On Saturday, June 9 is a hoedown (no kidding, a hoedown!) at 305 Pine Street, West Barnstable, featuring Tex-Mex food (okay, now I’m interested), country music, and a horsemanship demo. This runs from 4 to 8 PM. To RSVP for this, shoot an e-mail to philip_n_wallace@hotmail.com.
On Tuesday, June 12 Tomatoes in Sandwich is hosting a Flag Day flag collection and reception from 5 to 7 PM. Contact Lisa Perry at flaldp@aol.com or 508-888-3094 to RSVP for this event.
Rep. Hunt goes country again on Saturday, August 25 with a Texas BBQ and trap shoot event at the Monument Beach Sportsman’s Club in Bourne from 4 to 8 PM. The details on that are still being firmed up, so visit the candidate’s events page at www.electrandyhunt.com/events for the latest details.

Barnstable County Commissioner Sheila R. Lyons has officially kicked off her re-election campaign.
Ms. Lyons held a campaign launch event last week at Tugboats in Hyannis, which saw such special guests as Congressman William R. Keating (D), State Senator Daniel A. Wolf (D – Harwich), State Representatives Demetrius J. Atsalis (D – Barnstable) and Cleon H. Turner (D – Dennis), and fellow incumbent County Commissioner Mary L. (Pat) Flynn.
This week’s trivia: Ms. Lyons and Sen. Wolf ran against each other in 2010, vying for the Democratic nomination for state senate.
