Fisherman's and a Quarry

Some random notes which add up to why it was so awesome:

• I marched with the Town Dems, just behind the bagpipe band and in front of youth soccer - good music and plenty of cheers from the crowd throughout.
  
• The Town Dems ran out of Obama stickers midway through the parade - they were hot tickets!
  
• The weather held off just in time.
  
• Lori Ehrlich was one of only two elected officials to actually bother showing up to march. Kudos to she and her family!
  
• Hundreds came out, despite the ugly clouds.
  

That's got to be a huge success, by any metric. My only regret: with the weather turning sour, I missed the strawberry shortcake!

If anyone's feeling extra motivated by the Town Dems in the parade and wants to become involved, there's a potluck cookout July 9th at 6:30pm. Email me for more information. It's a good chance to meet everyone, feel a part of the community and learn ways to become more involved.
