We went to a TEA party on Memorial Day weekend and had 1/5th the attendees of the one on April 15. Not because people aren’t still up in arms about the POSOTUS, but because Memorial Day weekend is a traditional time for family get-togethers and local activities such as parades and picnics honoring our veterans, and to kick off the summer season.

Hubby and I are going to the September 12 FR TEA party, but we will not be attending the July 4 assembly because this holiday is also a time for family and local activities. People staying home for those reasons will impact the attendance no matter who sponsors the party on that day.

Not everyone can afford to go to both, especially from across the country. </obviousman >

Sure, it’s understandable, we all have our own priorities...I worry more about what they will do in the intervening 9 weeks...hopefully we won’t be so far underwater in the future we can afford family activities...
