Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott will be dishing out politics and lots of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs again on Labor Day.

He will be putting on his 39th annual “open-to-all” holiday cookout at his family’s waterfront home in Newport News.

When: 3 to 6 p.m., Monday, Sept. 7.

Where: 914 Shore Drive, Newport News.

The event serves as a traditional Democratic kickoff event for the fall campaigns. In the past, politicos such as Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine have enjoyed the festivities.

About 800 to 1,000 people typically attend, enjoying the Scott hospitality on the lawn that looks out on Hampton Roads.
