Last week some members of our staff traveled down to Wakefield to help out Mark Warner's Campaign in the infamous Shad Planking "sign war" and also have a booth for Delegate Moran. For most of the staff, it was their first Shad Planking experience, something they will never forget.

We arrived Tuesday afternoon and helped put up some signs along Main Street and 460. We then all took shifts for the evening, making sure no one was out there tearing down Mark Warner signs. Then after a great breakfast at the Virginia Diner, we put up more signs along 460 and then proceeded to the event to set up our booth and help the Warner Campaign set up theirs.

Our good friend, Hahn Deniston, brought a popcorn maker with her, so that we could hand out some popcorn with the sodas, water and Brian Moran cups we also were handing out. And in sticking with the spirit of this is Mark Warner¹s year, our staff was decked out in "Mark Warner is Good" t-shirts.

In the afternoon, Delegate Moran came out to Shad Planking. He spent a lot of time working his way around the crowd, had some shad, and ran into Mark Warner. This was a fun time and something we are all looking forward to next year! You can also check out more photos of our time at Shad Planking by going to our Flickr account.
