Peace Jubilee - Load-in Day 2

Up with the stage!!! Today we installed the stage on the grounds of the Old Manassas Courthouse.  This was a 20x24 foot tiered stage on the corner of the building facing Grant Ave... The stage went up with no problems in about 4 hours.  Several people stopped by to take photos of the flags on the building, most commenting "that is the biggest flag I have ever seen!!!".

Some of the other highlights of the day was a visit from the fire marshal, and a call to 911.  The fire marshal's visit was informative and the call to 911 was for a 3 vehicle accident at the intersection of Grant Ave and Church St., one block away.  No one was seriously hurt... The incident was loud enough to get our attention so we ran to investigate and called for help...
