Rock Booth rules at the Club Fest
It was more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
I was only at the Rock booth for an hour due to other commitments, but I would have loved to have been there all day. It was so fun introducing people to The Rock, giving away free stuff, having folks fill out surveys, and meeting a few old friends. The "old" Rock T-shirts were a hot item. Even after seeing that it was simply the Rock logo, people still wanted it. All of our excess T-shirts were gone in one hour. It was crazy.
On top of the action at the booth, there was very encouraging action with our neighboring booths. I got into a great conversation with the lady running the Russian speaking group. She is a researcher at PolyBio and is a Russian Jew. We had a great time talking about faith, Israel, science, ect... I invited her to The Rock.
Nate and Steve got into great conversations with the Mormon booth on the other side of us. Nate talked a long time with former ISU wrestler Sanderson (not Cael... his older brother). He even gave Nate a tour of the wrestling room and introduced him to a wrestling coach.
I don't how the Welcome Fest booth went, but we simply had a fun time meeting people and introducing them to The Rock. Check out pictures here.

We were much much busier for the Welcomefest (like 10-15x busier). It was a really great time and felt encouraged by just how many surveys we went through and how many people were interested in the Rock besides for getting the free pop.
Plus I like the interesting conversation that you end up in with some of the people. I'm praying that God is preparing us all for all the people that we'll be seeing as a result of this.
