2009 Catfish Days Schedule
IF . . .Chris Kennedy brings the wife and Kids to Wilmington Catfish Days over the Weekend, I will go all John McCain Loyal for his Campaign for U.S. Senator from Illinois, Governor? We'll need to think on that.
Honor Bright! I did a daily McCain Post for well over year and every one of them 'Hack Perfect,' just like, Mr. Straight-talk had dropped a few nickels my way!
Picture Mr. Chris Kennedy wandering Water Street and ambling along the Mill Race.
Chris - " This Chowdah is Exceptional! Really thick."
Wilmington Wildcat Grad '67; KofC and Vietnam Vet -" Son, that's Catfish Gravy. It goes on the biscuits. Your cup is empty, Son. Get over and fill her up over to The Rustic. Now, just get the beer and forget the Women's Reproductive Health and Green nonsense. Save yourself some grief. Ask the bartender where you can get a pint of Doc's stink bait, as you're cane-poling above the damn. That's votes, Son."
Catfish Days is a great family celebration and great time with great people.
Politicians talk through people.
If Chris Kennedy goes to Catfish Days, I'll not only vote for him but post a Kennedy Love Piece every morning.
Not gonna happen.
All of your folks take I 55 or I 57 south. Exit where it says Wilmngton and you will be at Catfish Days!
