According to the radio on the way home, there were "thousands". According to cop I talked to at rally, about 8,000 - 10,000. Plus another 3,000 left stranded at the parking lot at 1:50 when they announced the rally space was full and no more would be bussed. Plus who knows how many gave up and left when they saw the length of the line for the busses.
The event organizers VASTLY underestimated how many would show up

I'm sorry I missed meeting you. I was searching for anyone with a FR logo - and I spotted one. It was Mo1 and her daughter.
I did get to meet Abner and Tribune7 and TempleOwl and Doctor Raoul. We all met up at the site where Abner's balloon was. I was hoping to meet everybody there. Oh well, next time.
Registered, There were MANY positive comments about the graphic Uncle Sam with GWB's face. People loved it. Some guy asked me to turn around with the sign so his friend could photograpy it. (I hid behind the sign- LOL)
