Hundreds. We gave out "business cards" (pieces of paper with information about FIRST printed on them) to interested kids and their parents. We started with around 700+ and ended with less than 300. Accounting for some of the team taking some home in their pockets (I know I have about 20) we gave out 400ish of those cards.

That is not to say there were only 400 people that stopped by; for every one piece of paper that was handed out to a parent they usually had 1-2 kids. Also, during the demos children would flock to catch the ball then disappear while their parents were informed of FIRST by the other members of the team.
