September 5, 2008 - Bricktown Ballpark
This was the scene that nearly 1,000 people walked in to on the morning of our Campaign Kickoff pancake breakfast, better known as 'Breakfast at the Brick.' That morning, much was set to take place, and the best way I can describe it...organized chaos.
The scene early the morning of Kickoff
The entrance, set to go with Building Our Community, construction decor was a must
The more than 40 tables and 300 chairs set for over 1,000 attendees
The food line, designed to cut down on clumping, glad we found a good set-up
