Florida Senator and Presidential candidate Marco Rubio made a stop in Franklin Sunday afternoon. He spoke at the Embassy Suites in Cool Springs.
“According to the Rubio campaign, the event was supposed to be held inside in one of the ballrooms, which had a capacity of 1000. When they had over 4,000 RSVPs as of this morning, they decided to move the event outside.The threat of rain did not dampen the crowd. By 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the event, over 4,000 people had already checked in. The crowd sprawled haphazardly across the giant parking lot, wrapping almost a quarter of the way around the entire building. The stage was flat out not visible from the back rows, but the crowd still stood and cheered every line,” reports redstate.com.
