Maurice (Explore Gwinnett Sales Assistant) and I were on the front row for the Medieval Times Show last night. We were sitting with a rowdy bunch of college students in the Blue Knight’s section. Our entire section was chanting “Go Blue! Go Blue!” in unison. And yes…I caught the pink carnation. Here are a few pics:
