Early evening yesterday, just before dark, former President Bill Clinton made a quick stop in downtown Roanoke. Since I don’t live too far away I decided to ride down with a friend check it out. It’s not everyday that a former President of the greatest nation in the world makes a stop in your hometown!

We arrived a little late and so weren’t allowed up front or very close to the stage, but I managed to snap a few pictures of the event from our vantage point:

Several minutes before the event was to begin a relatively large crowd had already gathered on the market.

Shortly before Bill Clinton took the stage, Sam Rasoul spoke a few words about his campaign for a seat in Congress in the Sixth District of Virginia.

Bill Clinton took the stage a little before 6PM and spoke for about 30 minutes.
