I’d estimate there were around 2000k citizens rallying at the event. It was hot though, in the 90s, so there were a lot of people hugging the shade, rather than crowding around the front of the stage. You couldn’t stand there on the concrete in front of that stage for long but there were plenty of trees and they had a good PA so hearing wasn’t a problem. I found a good spot under a tree just to the left of the stage, with a clear view and a nice breeze blowing. I’m sure the crowd would have been larger if it were not for the heat and the fact that many people vacation and cook-out on the 4th. I posted some pictures of the event over at The Liberty Journal http://thelibertyjournal.com/2009/07/05/tea-party-july-4th-2009-columbia-s-c/ There's also some pictures of the one at Boiling Springs.

Speakers include Jim DeMint, Nikki Haley, Bill Connor, liberty activist Talbert Black, and more. My guess is the Governor won't be speaking at this round of tea parties...
