The Hamilton County Democratic Party (HamCo Dems) held its inaugural B.L.U.E. Games (Building Local Unity & Endurance) celebrating the heart of the party: its volunteers.

This first-of-its-kind event brought together community members from across the county for an afternoon of recognition, connection, and all-ages fun.

Designed as both a celebration and a thank-you, the event honored the incredible work of local volunteers while creating space for families to relax, laugh, and build deeper relationships. Attendees enjoyed a festive atmosphere complete with yard games, a bounce house, and snow cones, making it a joyful day for both seasoned organizers and new supporters.

“The B.L.U.E. Games were our way of celebrating the incredible people who make this work possible,” HamCo Dems Chair Josh Lowry said. “Every bit of progress we’ve made in Hamilton County has been volunteer-driven, and this event gave us a chance to say thank you – with a lot of fun along the way.”
