There were people on nearly every street corner around the Blount County Courthouse. At the time we were there we guessed at 500 people. People were still arriving. The event runs until 2 PM. It's great to see so many people get involved in trying to save our Country. Many thanks to all and especially the Blount County Democratic Party.
