They almost stayed home: What a Douglas County couple took away from Freedom Fest
By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice
By Saturday morning, Russ and Deb Minary were home, a refrigerator due to be delivered and an ordinary weekend resuming around them. They couldn't stop replaying the day before.
They almost hadn't gone.
Their Friday had cleared at the last minute, and they drove over on short notice for day one of Rocky Mountain Voice's two-day Freedom Festival, marking America's 250th birthday and Colorado's 150th.
"It's frightening when you see how easily our elections are being changed and manipulated," Deb said. "But it's also encouraging to know there are people trying so hard to fight for our freedom."
The day had split in two for them—what frightened them, and what gave them hope.
