Success!

Thank you's and Acknowledgements on this video!

Well everyone after my ranting on this blog I went back to the drawing board and to the other active Juneteenth Committee members and we devised a marketing plan for January 2008.

With the little money that we were given by the local advertising and promotion committee of our town and no cooperate sponsorhip, we were able to make our city officials stand up and take notice of us.

With all of our events we brought about 22 thousand people to this little town that is dying. ( i mean that literally most of the manufacturing jobs are moving out of the country or away from here). McDonald's ran out of hamburgers! Walmart ran out of money! (not a supercenter though). Allen's ran out of silverware for the opening ceremony banquet!

On Sunday the car show was a blast and the carnival and .....well all of the events were full to capacity literally.

Now all I can say is this. Local businesses who only see this as N*^&^a Day now have to look at us for what we did. We brought much needed revenue to this tiny town and they were glad for it.

I guess you could say we were the little engine that could and finally did.
