Marietta was our kick off for the whole tour and we couldn’t of been more happy with the turnout and the positive response. We estimated about 200 people that stopped by to see the exhibits and hear music. There were countless folks that just happened upon us due to the very public location. Contra Verse played a very energetic set that lasted about 30 minutes, everybody loved them! Witt brought his A-game and his posse of loyal fans. I’m told he sold several fistfulls of CDs.
Several Iraq war veterans showed up. They thanked us for what we were doing and encouraged us to continue. The “Eyes Wide Open" exhibit provoked a lot of strong emotion from those who took the time to walk amongst the boots. Several people were brought to tears.
We want to give a BIG thanks to Cool Beans Coffee Roasting Company(31 Mill st., Marietta 30060) for hosting us. The staff was great!!
