Watermelon Festival Report
2006 Carytown Watermelon Festival
by Jon Walker
This year the Carytown Watermelon Festival was not scheduled on the hottest
day of the year providing an enjoyable day long experience. The Richmond
Libertarian Party with help from members from the Henrico chapter set up a
booth at the corner of Cary and Nansemond to provide a presence for those in
attendance.
During the day we passed out a lot of literature, met several people and
collected names of new people interested in liberty. However, perhaps the
best outreach done that day was with the Virginia League of Planned
Parenthood who had a booth right next to ours. The VLPP is a very
organized, well funded group that has a lot of enthusiastic members and we
made a very positive impression with many of their members.
Thanks to all who volunteered their time!
