Tresckow is a small community about three miles west of Beaver Meadows, which is a small community adjoining Luzerne County. The kids from Tresckow and Beaver Meadows are actually in the Hazleton School District. Many Democrats in the lower part of Carbon County can’t find their way to Tresckow without a map.
Nonetheless, Tresckow (and Banks Township in which it is located) are heavily and loyally Democratic. In recognition of that fact, the Democratic Executive Board decided to hold its annual fall fundraiser at the Tresckow Fire Company.
Linda and I just got back. Two Democratic candidates for governor, Jo Ellen Litz and Max Myers, were there, along with two candidates for Lt. Governor, Brad Koplinski and Brenda Alton. Gubernatorial candidate (and my personal favorite) Katie McGinty sent two representatives as well.
The candidates were impressive, the speeches were relatively short, the food was excellent (except for the ziti), and the Tresckow people were gracious hosts. Now that I know where it is, I’ll be happy to go back there any time.
