I couldn't figure out what was going on in the SN last night with all the people until I saw a sign for the mennonite convention. Guess this must be a big one because you couldn't turn a corner without running into a kid or two.
you can follow it on twitter... which just seems really odd to me.
just FYI

i think it's pretty cool that they chose Columbus. i mean, this is the kind of tourist activity we wanted, right?

Why oh Why oh WHY couldn't they have been here during Pride week?!?! It would be SO awesome to invite groups like this (and the promise keepers, and Rev. Phelps, etc) to join in the fun :)

The Mennonites I've worked with have been great people and really low key. It's pretty unfair to compare them with groups like Phelps's..

shoot. Pinhead is lovely compared some of the other ones. like that one with the teeth? shoot. but again, and i really want to make this clear, it looks like there is no relationship between Mennonites and Cenobites.

I totally agree. We have some really great Mennonite customers actually. I don't think I have ever had a Mennonite try and cram anything down my throat.

Mennonites donated their labor and expertise to our family when rebuilding/repairing my grandmother's home after a major flood several years ago. I found them to be kind, friendly, hard-working and good-natured people. We may have a hard time understanding their lifestyles, but appreciating their character is easy.

The Mennonite Disaster Service does a ton of work all over the country, with little money going to overhead. A lot of people think the group is the best place to send your money if you want to help people in a disaster area.

Apparently you have missed my other posts about
my Mennonite/Quaker background. Don't compare my late mother's family with Phelps. My uncle, aunt, cousins and other practicing Mennonites on that side of the family are nothing like that hatemomger.

I thought it was great to see so many people and kids out and about last night and all day today. :D
Thought it was funny though to watch so many people walking from the Capital Square hotels up to the convention center though as I rode by on the bus to go the same distance. ;) Makes me wonder in general how many conventioneers ride COTA. Appears to be none. :P

The Mennonites for real have it going on with social media. I would have never guessed. Good for them.
