Great turnout in very red Blount County TN

There were 800 of us. It was 90F
.Lots of variety in ages. Great signs and shirts. Some snarky drive by. Several just drove in circles around the area. So really not many. Well organized.

I was surprised. I don't know the final count but when I left I'd estimate there were 350 and people were still arriving. Lots of horn honks too!

A couple of trucks with flags drove around more than once. Rude gestures were made. One guy parked his truck legally in front of the courthouse. Sat there on his phone. Cop on bicycle stopped and talked to him. He had the tailgate down so you cannot see the license plate. Just drove off when we gathered for a photographer.
