HALE, NO KINGS...

Started off this morning with a rain we really needed…hard to cuss it. We made signs at one of the churches in town, got things kinda organized and rules set. I volunteered to be a safety person, I had to ask only one guy to please leave…he was getting a little verbally abusive.
Told him he had the right to express himself…but so do we, if that’s how you feel…stay with your little counter-protest group…he did.

They had all of 5 people counter-protesting.

The rain cleared out at about 11:30. We actually got to a little over 50 people. Drive by’s were generally positive of course there were some that had to show their I.Q.’s holding up their single finger.

It was kinda different…this protest…seeing your friends and neighbors drive by…and standing shoulder to shoulder street side with them.

This protest was the first here, we had no idea of how the turnout would be…much larger than what we expected
We’re planning to try to have another before the cold weather sets in. Should be bigger with better organization.


Here’s some of the day…








The counter-protest group…they got a little larger







Got a thumbs up from our Amish neighbors.


Had to add these in the Garden Club worked hard.
