Annual Labor Day political event to go virtual
9/3/2020, 6 p.m.
Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott’s Annual Labor Day Picnic is going virtual.
Now in its 44th year, the free political event that draws dozens of candidates and office holders and hundreds of participants has been moved from the waterfront lawn of Rep. Scott’s family home in Newport News to online because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Organizers said a bevy of elected officials will participate this year, including U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine and Gov. Ralph S. Northam, along with candidates for various offices and special guests.
Taped remarks will be broadcast at the event that will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 7, on Bobbyscottforcongress.com or www.facebook.com/bobbyscottforcongress.
People are encouraged to have watch parties with social distancing for this year’s event.
