It was Easter weekend and the sun was shining, so Brandon Wick, co-organizer of the Camas Progressives political group, wasn’t going to count his eggs before they hatched.
Sure, his political group had been gaining members over the past few months and had a good track record when it came to people showing up for events, rallies and demonstrations. But the rally in question was taking place the Saturday before Easter Sunday and the sun had finally broken through the clouds, so Wick wasn’t 100 percent certain that his group’s Tax Day rally would win out over things like family gatherings, yard work and just plain fun-in-the sun.
