Apparently, there was no scheduled "No Kings Day" rally in Williamstown, the home of Williams College.
So ..... I took my sign and my trusty chair and sat on the lawn outside the Williamstown traffic oval just before the library's entrance.
My sign was small, but it slowed most of the speeding traffic. Got a couple of honks. I also put my signs in my Jeep's windows in the library's parking lot.
I sat there for about two hours. One elderly couple stopped looking for the rally that had been held at Field Park inside the oval at the previous No Kings rally. Alas, there was only me and my sign. A couple riding on a tandem bike holding a No Kings sign waved as they passed, presumably on their way to the North Adams protest. A family of three children excitedly crossed the road to visit the town's historic 1753 House.
I also noted that none of the trees inside the circle had changed color. Was it due to traffic air pollution?
As all the many vehicles drove by, I played a game identifying each vehicle's brand name. Many Subarus, etc. Then my game morphed into: As soon as I would see three of the same brand in a row, I could head to the library to warm up. The winner was Toyota.
The Williamstown "No Kings Day" protest had ended.
