5. The truth...

Nov 2013

The party was so ensconced in do-nothing mode when I was asked to be the treasurer that I took it upon myself to get the party out and in front of as many people as I could.

You have to have a booth to begin with in and then find a couple dozen people in order to get just anyone to man those booths.

Plus we scheduled candidates to be at the booth to meet and greet the people walking by the booth.

The county fair was a big deal.

Sorry to say that when I fell ill in the early '00 and had to step away from the Party, the booth at the County Fair was dropped.
