LIVE Report From Crawford (3,000 folks now and STILL COMING!)
Basil in Crawford | 8-27-05 | TxBubba

Posted on 08/27/2005 10:02:40 AM PDT by TXBubba

Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.

Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!

Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.

They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.

The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.

Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.

To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!

That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.

The "YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME CINDY" coverage on FOX NEWS may have been short, but it has run on the news ticker at the bottom of the screen all day long.

To me, that is better than a few longer reports.

Oooooo better and better (our crowd can take care of themselves). I'd hope the hurricane would arrive and drive them all out but this is good. This'll keep them all nice and soggy in their pup tents. Saw Joan Baez putting her sunscreen on wearing the same clothes she had on the day Cindy arrived back from CA. I'm luvin' it, as they say somewhere...

I have not been able to see one of your pictures. They all give me this message on the "view image" prompt on Firefox: "pvrf.yahoo cannot be found.... please check address." I switched to Explorer and get the same message. I've tried to see every picture. What's wrong here?? Would sure like some help figuring out this enigma .. everyone seems to be able to see them but me ....sniff.

Not at all surprised! I just happened on to it by accident--they were priceless. They need to be on a poster!

Great Freep, right up there with the best. Give it a day or two, word will filter out that there were more Bush supporters than dumdums. So proud of those that serve, those that support those that serve and those conservatives who are not afraid to take to the streets and get in the face of the left. Soldier on.

Sounds like a civil war. This will give the enemey hope. This will put more energy into terrorist's camp.

You posted this crap three (3) times already and you have the guts to say that I need an attitude adjustment? Why put down a good FReepers post as putting "more energy into terrorist's camp"? I feel good about myself, how about you?
