It’s that time again, and plans for Oneida County’s Lincoln Day Dinner have been set.  The annual event is a chance for members of the County GOP organization, as well as the interested public to meet and greet local and state level leadership within the party. Raul Labrador, Idaho Attorney General, is this year’s featured speaker on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the Oneida County Event Center. Doors open at 6:00pm with festivities beginning at 6:30pm. Dorothy Moon, IDGOP chairwoman, will also be speaking at our event.

In past years, presentations from speakers have covered a range of topics, often exploring the connections between rural issues, conservative values, and current and upcoming legislative and administrative actions at the state level.  Sometimes the speeches are personal, sometimes they are organizational, and sometimes they are first and foremost entertaining.  In any case, they are always interesting.  Raul Labrador has been outspoken on a number of issues both within the state and at the national level.  Dorothy Moon has consistently taken her role as the IDGOP chair very seriously, and is likely to lay out what the organization sees as its agenda for the next two years (the window between now and midterm elections).  

Official membership in the party is not required to attend, however, the event is a fundraiser for the Republican Central Committee and funds raised will be used in support of the organization.

The Lincoln Day Dinner will be catered again this year by the Iron Door Smokehouse of Malad. There will be a Silent Auction along with a Live Auction and Shotgun Raffle. Some of the Auction items include an Ultimate Mystery Box donated by Ward Ace Hardware, Ammunition, GMRS Radios, Melaleuca First Aid Kit, Whirlypop Popcorn Popper, and many more items. 

Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased from a member of the Oneida County Republican Central Committee or Karen Kerr at 509-528-8962. We take cash and checks, or you can use Winred.com for those who want to pay digitally with a QR Code. Payment will also be available at the door to the event. If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please contact a committee member.  Organizers would like to thank the following businesses for sponsoring a Table: Ace Hardware/Ward Feed, Allen Pharmacy and Hess Lumber.
