We were at BMB baby and all. Awesome turnout.
Do we have a list of the legislators (and their contact info) who are supporting this?
Aha...reading the whole thread helps!!

There will be many more coming, I am sure. I also wanted to point out that many of the Grayton participants went to the Red Bar to recharge following the event. It made me think of how much money our local business owners would lose if people stopped coming to SOWAL after figuring out dingy beaches were cheaper to utilize in Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas
Think it can't happen? Think again!
My best guestimate is 75 people at Rosemary Beach in front of the west green, but more people kept joining in so it's hard to tell. A bunch of people were taking photos, I hope someone posts them. I stood next to a lady who had been shopping in one of the stores and came down to the beach in support after she heard what was going on. I met a few new peeps and had some great conversations about alternative energy sources. Many thanks to Dave R. and all the fine folks who made this happen!

I was not able to be a participant in this momentous occasion, but seeing the photos and video makes me quite emotional and helps me feel like I was there.

I manage a store at Pier Park and there was quite a good turnout on the beach by the pier today. I am so glad this was supported so well!

I was there!! Too bad I didn't know who you were or I would have said "hi"
We were going to go meet with Andy A too but decided to see if our neighbors were at BMB and they were. There were like 81 people at BMB - from a few months old to 88 yrs old!! I have pics. I need to find where to post on the forum.It truly was a fun time - meeting people we already knew and meeting new friends. What a beautiful day too!!
