Final Tally for Racine's Bonfire Tea Party Estimate 3,500 in Attendance

Franksville, WI - With all parking lots filled to capacity and cars lining both sides of a country road, the Bonfire Tea Party in Racine county was a huge success!

Initial crowd estimates ranged from 2000 to 2500, but passenger counts from the buses used to shuttle the attendees indicate well over 3,000 people attended the Tea Party.

Temperatures were in the high 20's all afternoon but that did not diminish the enthusiasm of the crowd. People were still arriving at 3:55pm for an event that was scheduled to end at 4:30pm.
