Tea Party Total Head Count Thread (Post Your Attendance Numbers Here)

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | Kristinn

[kristinn]

I'm hoping to be able to ascertain an overall national figure of attendance at the tea parties today by asking Freepers to post their crowd estimates on this thread.

I'm also asking that the thread be kept to just the numbers, no photos, etc., but if you want to link back to photos in your crowd estimate that's fine.

Please give the location and number of participants.

I'll go first:

Melbourne, FL - 1000.

[Excuse_Me]

Corvallis, Oregon 200-250.

[Excuse_Me]

La Grande, OR 400
Enterprise, OR 100
Oregon City, OR 350

I don’t know if anyone has posted this yet, but Houston Tea Party official numbers are around 8400....by their “sign in” count (per their web page)... that’s not including the people who did not sign in or were turned away, which is projected at 10,000+

I can say that I did sign in but almost didn’t even see the sign in booth. I could see how one could easily miss it... very interesting...

There were Oregon tea parties in The Dalles, Rogue River, Tillamook, Milton Freewater, and on the campus of Oregon State, but I haven’t been able to determine counts. Some of these places are served by weekly papers which come out on Wednesday, so they may not have published counts until then.

Saw in the Porterville Recorder that about 300 people attended a tea party in Porterville, California. Don’t know if they have been added to your list.
