Occupy Asheville observes Occupy 1st Anniversary

  In the beginning - this is the pre-march rally, with the parade marshal giving directions.

 On the move - through downtown Asheville.
  Our Occupy sign.
 The front of the march going down Wall Street in Asheville NC.
  A short break in the march, where we stopped in front of the Federal Building.  This is where the encampment started.




  On to City Hall, where we gathered for some soapboxing and for a General Assembly.  I counted 48 people at City Hall to start with.  I did not include the police or legal observers.
 The soapbox is in place, and the first speaker steps up.  They have 99 seconds to say their piece.









  This was the start of the General Assembly, and the picture below showed that the crowd thinned out for this, but it was 2 hours after the event first started in Pritchard Park.

  I love these pictures of the kids filling in the OCCUPY sign.  They are so cute.
