Mayoral Proclamation Throwdown — the results

I organized the event for Fall Fest (and introduced the candidates as they spoke between musical acts), so this is a bit of self promotion.

They’ll be appearing between music acts all afternoon. More details on the times later this afternoon and on Twitter @kenedelstein.
