Circus McGurkus 2009

Linda Darin, president of Pinellas NOW
Pinellas NOW and the NOW Tampa Bay Area Caucus (TBAC) had a table at Circus McGurkus in St. Petersburg in October, 2009. Each year, our chapter tables at this event, which is full of radical and progressive-minded folks from all walks of life and various community organizations and activist groups. Plus, there's live entertainment, speakers and good food to be had. Make sure you come out next year if you missed the CM this year. It is one of the best events that finds its home in St. Petersburg.
