For those who didn't make it to the Palin Rally on Saturday, the turnout was truly stunning! I have honestly never seen so many people at the fairgrounds, even during the fair! I have attended a lot of events with large crowds of people (concerts, races, etc), and this was a sight to see. Far more people were outside than were able to get inside. It wasn't disappointing not to get in, but I am so glad that I went!
We arrived at 4:05 (the gates opened at 4pm) and the line already extended from the expo center around the turkey shoot back up to the Jim Graham Building around Dorton Arena to Hillsborough St., back down alongside Dorton, and out into the parking lot! What was truly astounding was the number of people who continued to file in long after the doors were closed!
We were fortunate enough to be "next in line" when they closed the doors, which gave us a front row position in the overflow area when Sarah Palin did come by to wave at the crowd.
