The small borough of Weissport held a festival last night and today in the town park. The festival was called Weisstock, like Woodstock, although, believe me, that’s a stretch. The Carbon County Democratic Party had a booth at the festival; we gave out pocket Constitutions and American flags and a chance at $25 gift certificates to two Weissport restaurants and an ice cream establishment.
We also signed up four potential volunteers. What amazed me was that in the two days we received no nastiness from festival goers. Nobody made any sarcastic comments, nobody came over to complain about Democrats, no Trumpists came by to insult.
On the other hand, people did come over to thank us for being there and to give us encouragement, Keep in mind that we are in the midst of a very Trumpian area. I found it very encouraging.
