Sip, Shop & Socialize

Friday, August 29th, 2025 | 4–7 PM

Sussex GOP HQ – 131 East Market Street, Georgetown, DE 19947

Freedom is worth celebrating—and learning about. That’s why Institute on the Constitution Senior Instructor Larry Mayo is teaming up with the Sussex County GOP for a one-of-a-kind event that blends civic engagement with a festive end-of-summer atmosphere.

This Sip, Shop & Socialize isn’t your typical political gathering. Yes, you’ll meet local leaders and connect with like-minded community members, but you’ll also enjoy:

• 🎶 A live DJ to keep the energy up

• 🍹 Themed cocktails like the Melania Martini, Baron Blast, Kamikaze Kamala & the Pelosi

• 🛍️ The NEW First State Freedom Store – hats, flags, jewelry, home goods, gifts, hoodies & more

• 👕 Labor Day Shirt Special: $15 each or 2 for $25

Larry will be there in person with new IOTC apparel and information on upcoming classes, including the Declaration of Independence Mini-Course and the 12-Week U.S. Constitution Course beginning September 2nd in Delmar, DE.

"There’s no reason the Constitution has to be stuffy or boring. It’s the blueprint for liberty—and it’s worth understanding if we want to keep it," says Mayo.

This is also a chance for IOTC instructors and supporters to think bigger—partnering with local schools, homeschool groups, universities, law enforcement, and civic organizations to bring constitutional education to their communities.

This event is FREE—no tickets required! But we encourage you to register here so the organizers know you’re coming. Bring a friend, bring your passion, bring your patriotism.

💻 Not from Delaware? You can still shop the First State Freedom Store online, and we’ll ship to you! Visit the online store to browse bold, patriotic apparel and gear you can wear with pride.

LARRY MAYO / PRESIDENT OF INSTITUTE ON THE CONSTITUTION

Larry D. Mayo- of Lewes, Delaware, musician, recording artist, public speaker, radio personality, amateur historian, and certified Institute on the Constitution senior instructor and president.

After nearly a decade of studying our founding documents and the men who wrote them, he realized just how little most of us have been taught about them, and has made it his passion to change that. As a certified instructor for the Institute on the Constitution he has spent the past seven years presenting our U.S. Constitution course. Having grown up at what is now the Delaware Seashore State Park and holding a deep love for Delaware he embarked on the task of developing our course “A Complete Study of The Delaware State Constitution” as a major part of his passion to restore our state government to its proper constitutional role.

As Thomas Jefferson said “ Anyone who desires to remain ignorant and free, desires what never was and never will be.”
