Seirer_170728_6849.jpgCampaign Colors A mirror behind a large glass display case, filled with flags, streamers, historical photographs and other memorabilia, reflects the work of Josh Svaty in Osborne, Kan. Svaty, campaigning for governor, was at the drink station of a fundraising dinner when his attention was engaged by potential voters from Smith Center. He obliged, of course. Svaty was in Osborne to check out the Osborne County Fair and one of its signature events, the dinner that is the primary fundraiser of the Osborne Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary. It was staged in the downtown Veterans Building, and began just after the fair parade that filed past the front door. The building is home to the local chapters of both the VFW and the American Legion. Its décor is rich in flags and for the dinner the colors red, white and blue were predominate. The fare? Fried chicken, potato salad, beans, bread and, for dessert, home-baked pies in the widest assortment imaginable. And the price? Just ten bucks.
