Dave "Mudcat" Saunders will speak at Vance-Aycock.
The political consultant and professional good ol' boy will be the keynote speaker at the annual event, held by the N.C. Democratic Party at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville.
Saunders, co-author of "Foxes in the Henhouse," has long worked on the so-called "Bubba Vote" of rural, NASCAR-loving bluegrass fans.
A native of Roanoke, he currently works as an advisor to John Edwards. He's previously advised Mark Warner's gubernatorial campaign and Jim Webb's Senate campaign, both in Virginia.
First Lady Mary Easley and several candidates for statewide office will also speak at the Democratic Women's Breakfast that morning.
The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 6.
