Russ Thomas supporters came out in mass to Snaps in Town Square on Thursday night, 2-16-12, to chat and mingle with friends and meet with the candidate all the while enjoying fine foods from local restuarants and wines from Calaveras vineyards. The event hosted and paid for by Supporters of Russ Thomas was the first in a series of events and meetings where the people of District 4 can meet Thomas.
