Motorists driving along Route 140 in Westminster, April 15, were greeted with a very noisy, colorful and unusual spectacle.

Several hundred protesters -- a large number of them middle-aged and older -- braved the rain and chill to stand along the north shoulder of the highway, from the Church of the Open Door two blocks to the intersection of Gorsuch Road.

They were taking part in an event billed as a Tax Day Tea Party, one of several held across Maryland and across the nation April 15.
