How early were you there to grab a front row spot? We didn’t arrive until 11:40 and were in the middle to back of the crowd, it was hard to tell since I’m a bit vertically challenged. LOL
My husband noticed the four troopers but could not tell what was going on. Glad they got the jerks in their costumes out of there. I guess they thought they could blend in with what they think are stereotypical conservative clothes. Lame.
I got there at 11:10 mostly because I way overestimated the time it would take to drive in from Waconia.
Next time, if you want to get up front just do like those 2 did and throw back a half dozen or so drinks, show up 15 minutes late and just plow your way on up with little regard for anyone else :)
It was kinda nice to get there that early and get to know the people standing around. I had a chance to shake hands with and trade a little small talk with Tom Emmer and John Kline.
Here are a few more pictures that I took:
