UPDATE:  Chelan County Lincoln Day Dinner Postponed

The organizers of the Chelan County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner in Wenatchee on Sunday, September 21st, have postponed the event due to a scheduling conflict with the keynote speaker, who is unable to attend.

Chelan County Republican Central Committee Chair Angela Dye says James O'Keefe has canceled his scheduled appearance in Wenatchee so that he may attend the memorial service for Charlie Kirk scheduled for the same day in Arizona.

The Lincoln Day Dinner will be rescheduled for a later date when O'Keefe can visit Wenatchee.
