We had lots of help getting our tent set up. There were so many of us that people were out working the crowd – getting people to come over and do the Bean Poll and signing up on our email list. We had 26 people sign up. 8 was the biggest number to date. There were no rude comments and the weather was lovely. After it was all up and running, I had Craig take me to a nearby Mexican restaurant for chips, salsa and a Margarita. They really hit the spot.
The positive reception of people in the crowd was very encouraging and energizing for RCDP members. Many people were not aware that there was even a need for a Special Election.
Several people hung around to help us tear down the booth. I was determined to keep things organized (and did a pretty good job). All was well until it came time to take down the tent. One of the arms would not release to fold up.
Unfortunately, Craig was out getting the car and was driving around when this was taking place. He would have had more patience and likely would have figured the problem out before it ended up broken. The Chair had decided to get a customized tent anyway to make it much easier and faster for 1-2 people to do set up for an event. By the time Craig was able to get through, the evidence of impatience was all disposed of.
We do not have another event until the First Friday in September. We should have one or two Podcasts completed by then to promote by then and full details on the Town Hall.
