Experience promoting districts in Minnesota

By the end of the lunchtime break, most of these had been removed as well. All other flyers that teams had posted were still hanging. No member of the RPC that I had spoken with, neither before nor during the event, had expressed to me that anything about the flyer was wrong or that I was breaking any venue or event rules by putting up the flyers.

I just wanted to address this point specifically - sorry it took so long, but with everyone suffering from "event hangover", tracking down details takes a while. No one on the RPC (myself included) issued any instructions to take down the flyers. It seems that the facilities people at the U of MN took them down as they weren't "event relevant". All those other flyers you mention they did see as event relevant - from what I saw at the event, they were all safety posters and posters related to the SWEet Eats event on Friday. Personally, I never even saw the flyers - one was never handed to me, I never saw any posted anywhere at North Star, the facilities people must have gotten to them beforehand.
