My Daily Record - Dunn, NC 5/8/2006 - Steve Reed / Reporter
 It was a warm, sunny Saturday morning and a beautiful setting for food, music, fellowship and politics.
More than 2,000 people attended the eighth annual “Down Home Country Breakfast,” sponsored by former State Sen. and Mrs. Oscar Harris, Carlyle McLamb and Mr. and Mrs. Carlie C. McLamb. Among them were scores of political officials and candidates.
The breakfast was held at the Handy McLamb Homestead, at the corner of N.C. 242 South and Jonesboro Road, south of Benson. The Handy McLamb Homestead is the home of Sen. and Mrs. Harris. It was built by Mrs. Harris and Carlyle McLamb’s grandfather and Carlie C. McLamb’s great-grandfather.
Sen. Harris expressed appreciation to those who attended the breakfast.
“We were really blessed with rain last night and beautiful sunshine today,” Sen. Harris said. “I also want to thank the over 100 people who worked on this event.”
The Rev. Tim Rice, pastor of Glad Tidings Church, delivered the invocation.
Sen. Harris said the Handy McLamb Homestead, the site of the annual breakfast, is an important location.
“We’re on the edge of four counties,” Sen. Harris said. “We appreciate those who serve the public in Harnett, Johnston, Sampson and Cumberland counties.”
