The prospect of free popcorn and maybe a glass of wine — and some candidate introductions and remarks — will highlight The Islander’s annual Popcorn and Politics political meet-and-greet Friday, Oct. 13, at the newspaper office, 3218 E. Bay Drive, Holmes Beach.
The al fresco event will start at 5:30 p.m. on the sidewalk at the Anna Maria Island Centre Shops.
Attendees can expect an old-fashioned political rally with warm popcorn and cool beverages, along with a meet-and-greet for candidates for political office on Anna Maria Island — commissioners from Anna Maria and Holmes Beach, as well as commissioners and candidates for mayor from Bradenton Beach.
Everyone is welcome and no RSVP is necessary.
