All the years we've lived here, we had never been to the Washington Town & Country Fair, but we signed up to do a stint at the Democratic Party booth yesterday, on the first day of the fair and will be back again tomorrow.
Even in the afternoon there was a good crowd. We made our way to the booth, situated in the Merchants' Building and settled down for an interesting evening. When we got there, we found Kris, leader of the Franklin County Young Democrats, who has signed up for a marathon stint at the fair. She spent a lot of her time painting Obama signs. That girl deserves a medal for the work she does.
We had a steady stream of people coming to our booth, many of them asking for buttons and bumper stickers, as well as tee-shirts and other Obama gear, but we are running short of stuff to give and stuff to sell. I have some buttons on order from MoveOn.org, but they are delayed too. Obama gear has to be the hottest thing around at the moment.
Talking about Obama gear, George had to have had the coolest shirt I've seen so far. He bought it when Obama came to Union. He was just one of the many people who wanted to express their excitment over this election. Franklin County is really beginning to rock.
If you are in Franklin County - or even if you're not, come on over and see us at the Fair, tell us your story and sign up to volunteer. We want to grow this county into one of the bluest in Missouri, but we can only do that if we all work together.
