I calculated my own estimate of the attendance at our Tea Party:

Square Feet Per Person
based on 4x4 personal space 16
Square Feet Per Acre 43560
Number of persons per acre 2722.5 (43560/16)
Estimated size of rally site 1.5 acres
plus or minus 0.5 acre,
from estimate derived on
Google Earth.

Estimated number of people

Best estimate = 4080 (2722.5*1.5)
Low estimate = 2720
High Estimate = 8160

My personal on site estimate was about 2500-3000, which is closer to the low end of the range.

Now I will try to find out and report the official estimate.

Local media types reported "hundreds."
