We had a fantastic day meeting new friends and neighbors on Saturday at the 5th Annual Destination East Point. Parts of Main Street were blocked off for the festival. Festival participants included: churches, schools, bands, artists, businesses, politicians and of course there were great food vendors. It was a beautiful day with the sun bearing down and a gentle breeze blowing. Our day started early as we set up our table and got ready to meet the citizens of East Point and get our message out. A huge thank you to Mayor Macon and Kevin Hudson who saw us sitting in the sun and so generously brought over a tent to help shield us. It made a world of difference. Thank you also to the volunteers who came and helped us pass out campaign materials or who just showed up to show support. Bobby, Christine, Mike, Cory, Stacy, Renata, Lona and Melynee you guys are the greatest! We met and talked with many residents who graciously volunteered to assist with our campaign by placing yard signs at their homes or agreed to walk the streets with us. Our candy bowl and "Elect K. Eric Morrow" balloons were both great hits with the kids! The kids crowded our booth and it was great seeing them walking around the festival with our balloons! Joel, this was a great idea for which you deserve all the credit! I must also compliment the parents of our East Point youth. It was wonderful to see so many families of all types enjoying the day with their very well behaved and well mannered children.
If you missed Destination East Point this year, you must make sure to put it on your calendar for next year. It is a wonderful event which showcases the best of our beautiful city.
The campaign is in full swing. We have less than a month until election day. Campaigning has been one of the most challenging and wonderful experiences of my life. With your help, we will be successful on November 3rd and beyond!
