What an unbelievable night at Flat Iron Cafe and Everett Square in Middleboro, Massachusetts! State Senator, Scott Brown, who is running for the United States Senate held a rally in Everett Square and then came into Flat Iron Cafe. The turnout of supporters, fans and the just plain curious was amazing. Hundreds of people filled Everett Square to hear Senator Brown speak and then have their picture taken with him.
The excitement began when the Bold New Leadership Tour Bus arrived in Everett Square. Hundreds of people stood in the damp cold to greet the bus. Everyone inside Flat Iron Cafe knew that Senator Brown had emerged from the bus when they heard the crowd roar in excitement. 
Senator Brown stood and addressed the outside crowd for about 15 minutes before making his way to the restaurant.
While Senator Brown was speaking to the crowd outside, Middleboro Selectman Steve McKinnon addressed the crowd inside Flat Iron Cafe. Along with others, Steve got the crowd ready and by the time Senator Brown entered our little restaurant, everyone – young, old and in between – was ready to hear what he had to say.
Flat Iron Cafe wants to thank Selectman McKinnon for arranging to hold this event in Middleboro. This was a terrific and positive spotlight on our town. We also want to thank Middleboro’s Police and Fire Departments for keeping everyone safe and secure during this event and insuring that everyone had a great time.
We also want to give a huge shoutout and THANK YOU to Flat Iron Cafe’s staff! Our cooks and servers cranked out great food with great service in a restaurant that was filled to capacity. Over and over again, as people were leaving for the evening, we heard how terrific our staff is and what a great time everyone had. We have the best people working at Flat Iron Cafe and we are so proud of them!
We also want to give a big thank you to John, Rene, Dave and the countless other customers who helped out last night. From standing at the doors to help with crowd control, keeping the aisles clear and safe, helping Scott Brown’s campaign get setup – everyone pitched in and had a hand in making last night a true success!
Finally, we want to say thank you to the media that came to the event. From the Middleboro Gazette to The Enterprise and Fox News and WHDH-TV, thank you for the awesome coverage you provided of this event. It is always a pleasure working with all of you.
Enjoy these preliminary pictures from last night’s event. NJ Photo of Middleboro was Flat Iron Cafe’s official photographer of the events and we will be posting their pictures as soon as we get them.
