Flag Day Rally Logistics
Time is short and we’re feverishly working to tie up the details. This is the quickest way for me to get something up, so here we go. While you’re here, stick around and read some of the posts we’ve put up.
With about 38 hours left, we have 1500 or so RSVPs. I think we’ll blow that number away if the weather is good. We had about 3200 RSVPs on April 15th and drew about 4500 on a cold and rainy Wednesday afternoon. I’m going to predict about 5000 over the course of the day.
Event Details
What: Flag Day Rally for Freedom
Where: The Bandstand, New Richmond, OH (Corner of George St and Susanna Way)
When: Sunday June 14, 2009 12:00-6:00
Parking
The City of New Richmond finds ample parking for their yearly River Days celebration that draws 25,000 people. Parking is available on the streets throughout the city. We also have a shuttle running from 12-7 to and from New Richmond High School (1131 Bethel-New Richmond Road). Signs will be posted at the exit from US 52 with directions, but here is a map if you need it.

Signs are welcome, but let’s try to keep them more positive and themed around the flag and freedom.
