Galivants Ferry Stump Speaking

2012 Galivants Ferry Stump Date Announced

Monday, May 7^th 2012

The families of Joseph Holliday and John Monroe Holliday announced today that the 2012 Galivants Ferry Stump Speaking will take place on Monday, May 7rd. The Holliday Families are pleased that the Seventh of May fortuitously coincides with the first campaign for the new Seventh Congressional District.

The Galivants Ferry Stump, which has been held biennially for more than 136 years, is considered the oldest and largest “stump speaking” in the nation. Galivants Ferry itself became hallowed grounds for Horry County Democrats when General Wade Hampton arrived there on horseback in late September to initiate his history-making gubernatorial campaign of 1876. This marked the beginning of Democratic dominance in South Carolina politics for the next hundred years.

The 2012 Stump will be held at Pee Dee Farms, the community’s century-old general store. Galivants Ferry, which is on the National Registry of Historic Districts, is located on Highway 501 where it crosses the Little Pee Dee River. The Stump will follow the traditional festival format of bluegrass music and clogging starting at 4:30 p.m. The actual “speaking” will begin at 6:00 p.m. featuring all local, state and national Democratic candidates.

Speakers will be announced as confirmed….
