The Marshall County Republican Party has announced that tickets are now available for its annual Lincoln Day Dinner, scheduled for Friday, March 6, at the Plymouth Boys & Girls Club Gymn Event Center.

This year's event will carry a special theme honoring President Abraham Lincoln, celebrating 250 years of American freedom, and recognizing the service and sacrifice of our nation's veterans.

"This will be a memorable event that brings together our community to celebrate our shared values of freedom, patriotism, and service," said Deb VanDeMark, Chairman of the Marshall County Republican Party.

The evening will feature U.S. Representative Jack Bergman as the keynote speaker. Congressman Bergman serves Michigan's 1st Congressional District, representing the entire Upper Peninsula, and brings a remarkable record of service to our nation.

Before his election to Congress, Congressman Bergman served as a Lieutenant General in the United States Marine Corps, leading Marines with distinction throughout his military career. His unique perspective as both a retired three-star general and current legislator makes him an exceptional speaker for this year's patriotic theme.

Individual tickets are available for $50.00 each. Reserved tables of 10 can be purchased for $500.00.

Tickets may be obtained from any member of the Marshall County Republican Central Committee, Deb VanDeMark, Sharon Dota, Bryan Howard, or Jim Masterson.

The Lincoln Day Dinner is a yearly tradition honoring President Abraham Lincoln and the core principles of the Republican Party. This year's celebration, marking 250 years of American freedom, takes on extra meaning. For ticket details and event information, please contact any member of the Marshall County Republican Central Committee.
