I made a cameo in the Mobile Unit blog! http://obbmobileexpress.blogspot.com/2010/10/record-setting-week.html
It was a great chance to get out and do direct service, especially at an event where people are already in dire straights (the event in Dayton was a "Foreclosure Prevention" day).
I also went to the Mum festival, which wasn't as targeted but we did actually see some repeats from the day before, including one woman who dragged her friend into the van so we could tell her about all the magical things the my program offers (or how she could get help paying her utility bills...choose whichever reason sounds more fun).
The Mum festival, like any small town Ohio festival (Milan Melon Fest shout out!) had an excruciatingly long parade, comprised of ridiculous floats and entries. There were at least 3 different high school bands, an exciting appearance by Ronald McDonald, Frances Strickland (Mrs. Governor), and a Democratic Party float toting all the good things the Democratic party sponsors, which for some reason included AmeriCorps and the PeaceCorps.
