WINCHESTER Country music star Ronnie Milsap’s performance on Saturday, April 17, 2021 for the Patsy Cline Classic XI in the Patsy Cline Theatre at Handley High School will be postponed once more until Saturday, October 23, 2021 at 8PM due to the ongoing Covid-19 challenges and current health and safety guidelines set forth by public health officials,
Winchester Education Foundation Executive Director Russ Potts announced today.

Amanda Chase of Chesterfield County to declare that sheâll run as an independent instead.
Democrats are absolutely gleeful. Republican conventions tend to be dominated by the partyâs most conservative activists â which often lead to nominees who canât win elections. A Republican convention alone gladdens Democratic hearts; the prospect of Chase running as an independent siphoning off some votes makes them positively giddy.
Democrats may want to stifle their enthusiasm. The Republican decision to go with a convention is exactly the opposite of what it ordinarily would be. In this case, a convention is more likely to produce an electable Republican nominee than a primary. Thatâs not to say the Republican nominee â whoever it is �
