Word on the Hill: Long Weekend Debate
Taste of D.C. this weekend and relocated staffer wedding
Happy Friday and Columbus Day weekend!
Since you probably don’t have to work on Monday, you can stay up late watching Sunday’s presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
At 9 p.m., the two candidates face off at Washington University in St. Louis. Moderators are ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
D.C. cultural event of the day
Taste of D.C. — this town’s largest food and drink festival — takes place this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, Pennsylvania Avenue will be full of Washingtonians enjoying different foods and beverages from local vendors. Tickets run from $10 to $80.
Staffer wedding
Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake’s communications director Jason Samuels self-officiated his wedding on Thursday night to Courtney Singer, an editor at Wood Consulting, on the Watergate rooftop. The couple was supposed to get married on Saturday in Charleston, but Hurricane Matthew ruined those plans. Read the full story.
