over the 200 mark for flyers about an hour into this second day.<\/p>\nThis was a longer day. Two hours longer. But it was also a more fruitful day.<\/p>\n
More flyers were handed out. More people were engaged.<\/p>\n
First of all, we had the amazing and never-to-be-forgotten, George. George was a salesman. And he made good money that way.<\/p>\n
And it showed. He pushed us over the 200 mark for flyers about an hour into this second day.<\/p>\n
