LATEST FROM THE WMMB WEB SITE ABOVE. THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE!!!

The weather IS FANTASTIC. It IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. Come on out to the coast. 3D-JOY has the signs and is setting up the gathering place. We're only 90 minutes from Orlando. Come on over and rally with us.

Bump to you. Thought I'd get a last minute post out there to snag any weekend FReepers or lurkers. See you there.

[3D-JOY]

Last BUMP to you.

Good idea in case anyone has been SLEEPING all week!!

I am leaving now to see the set-up there and to see if I can establish a FR presence in an easily to be seen spot!!

Beautiful weather and NO RAIN!!

[3D-JOY]

I should have started the last post with a giant THANK YOU!

Your help and dedication has really been WONDERFUL!

Well, sorry about that thunderstorm choosing to join us 15 minutes before the start. But the event moved indoors and we pressed on. Pictures are now up at the WMMB web site but I think the other media has stayed away because of the radio station sponsorship.

But, hey, we had a great time anyway. More than 100 people lined the street following the rally with signs, flags, and lots of honking cars as they passed by. The next downpour brought that to an end.
