early on.

estimated approximately 10,000 were in attendance.
As a token of their appreciation for the Board's support, Nis. Buffington, on behalf
of the organizing committee, presented each.Board member with a First Night-
Martinez '99 poster and admission button—expected to become "collector's items"

greatest sign of success is the fact that many communities are talking about starting
their own first-night programs.
