Helen Edwards, present of the group, said, "Everyone is welcome and bring your lawn chairs."
The cost of the dinner is $5 a plate and the dinner will include brisket, potato salad, beans, a dessert and soft drink. Tickets may be purchased at the gate or before the picnic from any member of the Democrat Women's group.
Edwards said Wild Horse Mountain Barbecue, south of Sallisaw, is preparing the brisket this year. Members of the Democrat Women will provide homemade desserts for the picnic.
Edwards said, "We won't have a guest speaker this year because we have so many candidates."
All candidates for public office at the county, state and national level have been invited to attend and speak.
Most likely the county offices up for election this year will be decided in the July 29 primary, since all the candidates are Democrats. In some races with three candidates, the winner will be decided in a run-off election in August. The offices up for election this year at the county level are the county clerk, court clerk, sheriff and District 3 county commissioner.
