Wow - when I left at 3 PM after handing over the command reins, we
were almost at 92% participation according to the Town Clerk. She did not have a final prediction because she didn't think we'd get back 70%. First in thirty years it was this busy. The traffic was so bad, the Constables were overloaded to I gave the local Chief a call and we called the Fire Police out to handle lot traffic and parking and positioned the Constables out on the main road to handle entry and exit. Eventually, the lots got jammed and we pulled all the trucks out of the fire house, staged them down at the Fairgrounds and just opened up that parking lot next to town hall. Called the school superintendant and he gave us one of their 12 person vans to transport older folk and those who needed a lift from the FD parking lot to the Towh Hall. No major incidents like 2004 and only a couple of minor problems to work through - smooth as a babie's butt. Long day though. I'm gonna sit here, eat my tuna salad and slowly absorb the day. :) |

Might be a way to ease access problems. |
