Luray to Welcome Eric Cantor
Town of Luray welcomes Congressman Eric Cantor to present Congressional Record commemorating Bicentennial
LURAY, VA – The Town of Luray and the Luray Bicentennial Committee are pleased to welcome Congressman Eric Cantor to the Luray and Page County Visitor Center April 5 at 5:15 pm.
At a brief ceremony, Congressman Cantor will present an official statement entered into the Congressional Record commemorating the two-hundredth anniversary of the Town of Luray. Members of Luray’s Main Street Singers will offer a musical salute and Mayor Barry Presgraves and the Luray Town Council will accept the Congressional Record on behalf of the town.
Representing Virginia’s 7th District, Congressman Cantor has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2001 and was elected Majority Leader in 2010. A lifelong resident of Virginia, Congressman Cantor is a former small businessman who has worked tirelessly to cut wasteful government spending, lower taxes, remove Washington red tape, strengthen small businesses and encourage entrepreneurship.
Congressman Cantor said, “The bicentennial marks an important milestone in the history of the Town of Luray and the Commonwealth. I’m proud to be a part of this special celebration as we honor and preserve the rich history and culture of the Page County community and look forward to its continued growth and success.”
The parking lots of the Visitor Center (located in Luray’s historic train depot) will be closed, with parking available in a variety of downtown locations. Some seating will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The ceremony will move indoors in case of inclement weather.
