Do you want media there the day of your event? Yes. But isn't it more important to get advance publicity? Yes.

A Big Thank You ----
All of the candidates that I could get ahold of were invited to this event. Some of their staff persons laughed and howled when I shared with them this event. I was calling asking for a photo for the students to use as a guide. Most of the candidates responded. A great big thank you goes out to the Statesville Record & Landmark for all their assistance in pulling this event together! And, a big thank you to the Statesville Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Statesville Downtown Development Corporation, Inc. for letting me do this event.
