SUMMARY:How to Support Your Favorite Candidate
DESCRIPTION:Attorney William Huneke will return to Ocean County Historical Society’s program schedule for a fascinating Zoom presentation. Bill has enjoyed an almost lifelong hobby of collecting political campaign memorabilia\, which now number over 5\,000 pieces! You will enjoy learning about the history of campaign items – badges\, banners\, ribbons\, metal tokens\, and celluloid covered pinback buttons – and what they tell us about elections. Some focus on the issues\, some purely on personalities. Selling a candidate is in many ways just like selling cereal or other consumer products. Bill’s collection contains something from every major candidate from 1840 on & is non-partisan/bi-partisan\, all in good fun. Bring your interest\, your questions\, and if you have any items at home you’d like to share or ask questions about\, they are welcome\, too! To register for this program\, send your request to oceancounty.history@verizon.net. Include your e-mail address\, the name & date of the program\, and your zip code. We will send you instructions for accessing the program a few days before the event.
