Caldwell TEA Party 
GREAT DAY!!!! It poured until 11:15am, and then the sun came out. It was a beautiful day indeed. It was no big surprise that many people stayed home, but the ones who came were very enthusiastic. All 15 speakers were fantastic, patriotic, knowledgeable, and spirited! They came from as fall away as Raleigh. We had a reporter from the Morganton paper, who was talking to people and taking notes and pictures. Everyone left with a FrenzyT’s t-shirt and a full belly. Sweet tea was endless and we all had fun. Thank you all for coming!!!!!!!
I’m sorry about all the havoc that was wreaked east of us in NC. One of my speakers sent a text – ‘His power was out and a tree had fallen on his pump house.’ Wake County had some deaths from tornadoes. God bless.
I’ll post pictures as soon as people send me some. 🙂 Please.
I am a resident of Caldwell County. I am interested in being an active member of a Tea Party in Caldwell Country. Could you please tell me of the next meeting time and location.
Y’all should try and make it to these type of venues. They are very patriotic and your children will learn a lot too. I am actually sun burnt and the weatherman was wrong. We had a down pour right around 11am for about 2 minutes and that was it. The weatherman was calling for lightning and thunder and more rain. I can not believe how nice it got. Our country is on fire and things seem to be happening very fast all over the world and George Washington would not have let a little water stop him back in the day. Come on out and get involved before we lose the right and freedom of assembly and speech.
