I was disappointed that the turnout (vendor and public) was not what it was in 2011. Sign of the times, I'm afraid.
Banquet attendance in San Diego was about 280 last year and only 323 in Kansas City. Voter participation was up a bit this year -- 17% last year 18% this year. Both banquet participation and vote percentage show a "core" KCBS member base of about 20% of total numbers.

Yes you did and you were very warm and welcoming. It was nice having a neighbor on Saturday!
