Dubois County Democrats Set Inaugural Bayh Dinner for March 21 in Jasper

The Dubois County Democratic Party will host its inaugural Bayh Dinner on March 21 in Jasper, bringing prominent figures and local voters together as the county prepares for a consequential election year. The event is scheduled at the Thynn-Clark Cultural Center, listed by the party at 100 Third Ave Suite B, Jasper, IN 47546, with tickets priced at $60 per person and said to include dinner and full program access.

Program highlights list former Indiana Governor Evan Bayh among the speakers, along with his son Beau Bayh, who is running for Secretary of State, and Mary Allen, the Democratic candidate for Indiana’s 8th Congressional District. The party’s materials indicate the program will conclude with remarks from Dana Black. Guests will be served a dinner catered by the Schnitzelbank and may participate in a silent auction; the party also promotes opportunities for “meaningful conversation” and to hear directly from leaders shaping Indiana’s future.

The organizing committee describes the March 21 dinner as the first year of what the Dubois County Democratic Party intends to become a lasting tradition. Seating is limited; the party asks that one person purchase group tickets to ensure attendees are seated together, or that buyers email the Dubois County Democratic Party with seating requests after purchase. Tickets are being distributed through the party’s event page via ActBlue and are also promoted on the party’s Facebook page and website. The event page uses the email duboiscountydemocraticparty@gmail.com as a contact for inquiries and seating requests. Sponsorships are available.

Two details vary among local outlets: the party’s event listing gives a 5:30 p.m. Eastern start time, while some media reports list a 6 p.m. start; and several outlets use the alternate spelling Thyen-Clark Cultural Center. The party’s listing uses Thynn-Clark; the address above is taken from that listing.

For Dubois County residents, the Bayh Dinner offers a chance to meet statewide and congressional candidates in person, support local Democratic organizing, and contribute to fundraising through tickets and the silent auction. The dinner follows recent local activity by the party, including a Jan. 28 meet-and-greet for township trustees at the Schnitzelbank, underscoring the party’s focus on community engagement. Interested attendees should secure tickets soon, as the party notes seating is limited and sponsorship opportunities remain available.
