Saturday was much busier with lots of costumed fans roaming the aisles. A few celebrities stopped by our display to lend their support. Terry and I compared notes afterwards about the large number of attendees that spoke about how Parkinson's affects their lives. One lady just lost a good friend at the age of 40 due to the disease and a gentleman lost his wife, who had experienced complications during a brain surgery trial.
It's a real challenge to educate folks about our purpose and why the time machine is on display.
The iconic vehicle certainly triggers attendees to whip out their cell phones and cameras, but we try to encourage them to do more than just 'take.'
Take a photo, but give hope.
Fortunately, for every person that misses the point, there is another that donates, just for the sake of contributing, expecting nothing in return.
It's a surprising balance.
