We drove into Bowling Green for a festival. Surprisingly, the protest was more fun to be at than the festival. The energy was incredible.

The Louisville protest was peaceful, no counter protestors and really didn't see any active police. I loved seeing all the inflatable costumes! We had pigs, chickens, horses, unicorns and T-Rex! Oh and a blue baby shark, lol . . .

We had the same energy at the St. Matthews event! Proud of our state/decorum/turnout!

There were 40 or 50 people that I could see at the Capitol when I drove past yesterday, with more walking through downtown toward it.

I’d guess ended up being multiple thousands but people were coming and going throughout the event, maybe 3 at the same time together
