I was at a small town rally that had their first last October, about 100 people showed from surrounding areas too. This time it was about +30F with a stout breeze so not a larger turnout but a dedicated one. There was lady in a Handmaid's costume and someone with a Penzey's flag! Small but impressive crowd, mostly older but they were there. There was another further up the road that was having their first NO KINGS rally ever so it's spreading.

I was impressed at a picture I saw of Driggs, Idaho. That's some red country there and real small, last town you go through before you go over Teton Pass into Jackson Wyoming. Just a few hundred people there and they had a decent sized crowd.

The small towns are getting into it now. Some of the larger gatherings have also spread out. Talking to my sister earlier, said that last year it was just too concentrated at the harbor in San Diego so there were several spread out around the county and still the Harbor event was huge.

I have a good feeling about this.
