I'm so happy I went! I don't know the headcount, but I would say at least 200 - 300. Not bad for ruby red south Alabama! I was really overwhelmed but the support of all the people driving by - everybody honking and waving and giving thumbs up. Only saw 3 hecklers and the counter protest down the road also only had 3 people.
