It was a good weekend at Sand Mountain. The sun was shining, the breeze was cool, and the ATV engines were roaring. Our botany team set up a booth for the weekend with cool activities and events. We provided information about the animals and plants a person would find there, we sponsored botany walks, and we even had an evening astronomy talk and scorpion hunt event. There was so much information provided by our booth that it was overwhelming to try and see it all in one visit. Despite our effort however, very few people bothered between rides up the sand dune to stop by and check out the cool stuff. Despite the hours of an empty booth, I learned to take everything with a grain of sand. Even if it meant only entertaining one person who stopped by our booth, just the fact that there were some people interested in what we had to offer made me happy and proud. By the end of our weekend, we had a large group of people who came out to our evening session. While this may point to flaws in our advertising campaign, which I sincerely doubt, I think it highlights the fact that if you wait long enough, people will eventually see what you have to offer.
