Well… it’s the morning after. ❤️
And I don’t even know where to start.
I’m seeing pictures and videos this morning from people I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WERE THERE. 😂 Yesterday there were people EVERYWHERE.
So many people came up to me and said, “I follow you on Facebook!” So many people wanted to talk to me, hug me, introduce themselves, tell me something… and if I seemed completely overwhelmed at times, it’s because I WAS. 😂
There were THOUSANDS of people.
And holy sh*t… look what we did.
We threw an event for Gary Pirrung and I swear it felt like all of Trumbull County showed up. ❤️
Yesterday showed me what The Local can actually do.
I have another whole year to learn, prepare, improve things and figure out how we can pull off more BIG events like this next summer. Because believe me, I was watching everything yesterday — what worked, what didn’t, what we need more of and what I can do better.
First investment: MORE CASH DRAWERS. 😂😂😂
Was The Local overwhelmed? ABSOLUTELY.
But having your bar overwhelmed because THAT MANY PEOPLE showed up is a pretty damn good problem to have.
And today I think I'm allowed to be a little proud of what happened out there.
Because yesterday was HUGE. And it showed me what this little bar by the lake is capable of when a whole bunch of really good people come together for somebody they love.
The big thank-you post is coming. I just can’t do that one yet because there are SO MANY people who made yesterday happen, and I know my tired brain will forget somebody.
So for right now…
THANK YOU. ❤️
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for supporting Gary.
Thank you for supporting The Local.
Thank you for making yesterday something I will NEVER forget.
Yesterday was one of the best days ever.
Today?
MY ASS IS DRAGGIN’.😂😂😂
But damn, was it worth it. ❤️
XOXO Wenona 😘 🤗 💓
