Hillary at Maifest in Covington KY (Photos)

Edited on Sun May-18-08 07:19 AM by susankh4

She was mobbed!! In a good way, that is. It was like trying to take photos of a rock star!

Tween girls were everywhere, singing "Hillary.... Hilllllarrrrry...." as if they were dancing around a Maypole. They were clearly very excited to have seen her "live."

A few teenage boys wearing Obama stickers infiltrated the crowd. They were respectful. Mostly there with their Hillary supporting parents.

It was a fabulous evening for our Madame President! Here are a few of the pics I was able to shoot:

but I wanted to be able to enjoy it here.

And I am afraid to go back and see what will be done to it over there. But... if you want to give it a kick, that'd be great!

6. Of course, it got pooped on pretty quickly. I had to reply to idiot Blondbostonian, though.

3. Hey, thanks for these pics very much! How nice you made it there!

I almost went there (Covington is about 3 hours' drive from where I am), but changed my mind when I read about the thunderstorms they were expecting. Also, the Maifest (never been to one) with all its people, intimidated me - I'd never get close to Hillary if I didn't get there and save my spot really early! Oh, well, seen her twice already, but it's always exciting to see her in person. How many people showed up for the festival, you think?

5. We were blessed by fantastic weather!

For a while I dallied, thinking I'd wait to see if the storms came. But they never did so we went on to Maifest. Parked a couple of miles away (that is how crowded this thing was.) Got lots of walking in and arrived just as her address was ending.

Seeing how the crowd loves her so much made the whole trip worth it!

7. Wow! A couple of miles away to park! Good that the weather cooperated -

- but glad I didn't bother. I would be too disappointed driving that far and dealing with massive crowds and seeing Hill as just a tiny dot in the distance!

But many thanks for your pics! Hill will win big again in KY! B0 never bothered to visit the state, even, saying he would do so for the GE.

He's not the presumptive nominee, he's the PRESUMPTUOUS nominee! Arrogant jerk!

4. Thanks for the pics!

I'm jealous that you got to see her in person! Were there a lot of people there? Did you hear her speak?
