24. My grandparents-in-law were married in Pioche -- the county seat of Lincoln County, IIRC
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 03:52 AM by Emit
Years ago -- they had this old wedding tradition - they called it a charivari -- where they wheeled the bride up the town to every bar in a wheelbarrow and the groom had to buy everyone in each bar a drink -- or some story like that.

Interesting part of NV -- Lincoln County -- from what I've been told. I've never been down there. Pioche, Caliente, Carp, Panaca, etc. Tiny towns, some with hardly any registered Democrats, I suppose. The rurals are very hard to canvass. That must have been a tough time for you. I heard stories from friends who came over from CA in '04 to help in the rurals. They said it was hard talking to folks and a lot of work.


Thanks for clarifying my questions -- and again, thanks for coming over to NV and helping monitor our process. We have a lot of work to do if the Dem Party here is set on continuing to caucus like this.
