POCATELLO - The Pocatello Tea Party held its final planning meeting Thursday night before Saturday's big 9-12 event.

The tea party will be at Optimist Park, right in front of the federal building from 11am to 2pm. The public is invited. There will be live music, booths, guest speakers and a patriot parade through town.

The tea party wants to downsize the role of the federal government and preserve individual liberty and Constitutional rights.

"This actually is an avenue for people to express themselves through the signs they make, or through the open mic, by getting up and saying a few words of what concerns them. So it's going to be a fun, family event," says organizer, Chris Stevens.
