DENVER-The Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire are hosting an "after gravel" reception for Granite State delegates after the convention speakers finish on Monday night.

"I thought it would be a nice gesture to show them [the delegates] a good time when they're out there," said David Lang, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire.

Lang said the event is not expecting any surprise guests.

"It's a pretty low-key event," he told PolitickerNH.com.

Lang added that he has not hosted a convention reception before but has hosted similar ones in New Hampshire.
