| Laramie County Democrats' state committeeman Forrest King, Pres. Barack Obama yours truly at SuperDay! |
Laramie County Democrats were out in force today at SuperDay! to sign up new members of the county party and commitment cards for Pres. Obama's 2012 re-election. Much fun was had by all, including Pres. Obama, who wasn't actually there but still wore a smile. I sported full war paint, including a mustache painted on at the
Cheyenne Old-Fashioned Melodrama booth and a "Defy the Hate" slogan from the
Defy the Hate anti-bullying campaign.

LarCoDems also sponsored a bean bag toss and impromptu hula-hoop lessons. Lots of people stopped by to sign up or chat or toss the bean bags. We had a prime spot in front of the main stage. To our left was the Cheyenne Family YMCA with all of its great family exercise and health programs. To our right were the melodrama folks, some in full costume -- and the others wearing new 2011 melodrama T-shirts. Next to them was a booth staffed with local Shakespearean players.

It was a day devoted to creativity, to the life-affirming values most of us hold dear. As always, the City of Cheyenne Parks & Rec Department did a fantastic job. Thanks to thew main sponsor, Frontier Refining, home to some great union jobs. Fuel from the refinery finds its way to area gas stations such as the on at King Soopers on Dell Range. Local people, local fuel, local jobs.

And at SuperDay!, local fun and local political action. Local food too. Kiwanis was cooking up bratwurst lunches for $4 apiece.
