Event of the Year Profile: Ron Paul at Wake Forest

Today’s Event of the Year profile is of Ron Paul’s first ever on campus Young Americans for Liberty Event.  On April 20th, 2009 the Wake Forest University Young Americans for Liberty filled Wait Chapel, the largest auditorium on Wake Ron Paul 7campus, for the good doctor’s speech.  They did a fantastic job of promoting the event, using a creative flyering campaign and local media to get the word out.  They even slipped handouts under every dorm room door on campus.

The event was covered by local media outlets such as the Winston-Salem Journal and YES! Weekly.  Perhaps the most impressive fact is that they drew over 1300 attendees at a school of only 4400 students.  The line to get in wrapped all the way around the quad.  To top it off, the group made a video documentary of the whole process which tells the story much better than I can.
