Free ice cream! Capital city says it's ready for Sanders' Statehouse rally Saturday

[TexasTowelie]

Montpelier -- Capitol Police say they expect a crowd of between 3,000 and 5,000 at Sen. Bernie Sanders’ Vermont kick-off rally Saturday on the Statehouse lawn.

Chief Matthew Romei said a gathering of that size is “well within” the capacity of the grounds, site of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate’s first event in the state since announcing a second run for the White House.

Romei said law enforcement has largely been taking direction on security measures from the Sanders campaign. He said there will be a few set entrance points, with the campaign wanding rally-goers as they enter the lawn.

“We’re working with all our typical partner agencies to make a successful happy Saturday — if the weather complies,” Romei said. “That’s the wild card component. The biggest thing we’re keeping an eye on at the moment is the weather.”
