The Fresno/Central Valley Chapter cordially invites all FReepers and Lurkers in good standing to attend our 5th Annual Free Republic Rally and Tailgate Picnic (and FR's 10th Anniversary celebration) to be held on September 8th and 9th, 2006.
Our rally will begin at 6:30 pm and end at 8:30 pm Friday night, at the corner of Blackstone and Shaw in Fresno. Afterwards, the group will retire for dinner, refreshments and fellowship at a nearby restaurant (time and place to be announced).
Our tailgate pot-luck picnic will be at Woodward Park on Saturday, September 9th. We've reserved the "Gazebo" area for the full day. We'll probably start arriving about 1:00 pm and will dine and party till dark.
The entrance to Woodward Park is on Audubon Drive, just off Freeway 41 on the northern edge of Fresno. The Gazebo area is near the center of the park (see park map).
Bring your flags, banners, signs, family and children. Prepare to support your country and enjoy the company of your good FReeper friends!

I think Jim will be putting up thread II sometime today or tonight.
The Assembly of God Youth Group told me they are planning to get to our corner between 5:00 and 5:30 and plan to stay until about 8:00.
I will get there shortly after 5:00. If anyone else can make it early, please do.
We are looking at about 200 people attending this Friday. Bring your friends and relatives!
LOL
I'm becoming an expert!
Looking forward to seeing you and Mrs DD.
We will be there, but probably not until 6:00 or 6:30. It's nice to know we are going to have such a huge crowd. This is going to be one of those "not to be missed" rallies.
I'm not sure which church affiliation, but a minister called me this morning. He had questions about FReeRepublic. Who we are and what we do type questions.
He is planning to be at the rally Friday and will probably bring a few people with him. I invited him and his wife to the picnic. :)
Everyone that I talk to are getting excited about this weekend.
It will be great to see you and jk on Friday. I think it is going to be an awesome experience.
Thank you Mama Bear for all you do. We will see you this coming weekend!
I'll be at the beach in Maryland, but I'll sure turn west and raise a beer!
See you this weekend. :-)
Great! JK is going to be making up some signs for the rally. He says he would appreciate ideas for new signs. If you have any, freepmail me, or him - we'll get them printed up.
Oooops .... you said freepmail.
I don't follow directions very well. :)
Thank a Veteran Today for Your Freedom
I really like ...Honk for Our Troops and Peace After Victory.
I apologize to all, but I am not going to be able to make it. The editor is available only at certain times, and we will be working on INDICTING HILLARY all weekend. I'll try for next year.
Or ....
Enjoying your Freedom
Thank a Veteran!

I will see if JK will make up three or four large ones for the rally. He might be able to make up more, depending upon the work load at the studio. Our printers are working overtime turning out high school senior portraits right now.
Well, DARN!
Okay, hope to see you next year. Second Saturday in September.
I hope you will be able to make it to Fresno this weekend.
We would love to meet you.
I'm sorry that you missed the thread.
I'm sure that you are on my ping list but I checked again. I think I pinged all known FResno Freepers at least twice and maybe 3 times.
I hope you will join us FRiday and/or Saturday.
It is going to be an awesome weekend. :)
