With a plethora of free food, mugs, buttons and plenty of promotional gifts, most of the tea party participants said they were pleased.
"I don't care much for mugs, but I did win the new Guinness 2001 book," said Ronda Hartmann, a Boston resident and MIT employee.
"They asked me who has run the Boston Marathon the most number of times," she said. "I told him it was that John Kelly guy. I think he's run the marathon 62 or 63 times."

Ronda Hartmann's 8-year-old daughter Aurelia said the man who made the balloon characters was her favorite.
She proudly displayed the translucent balloon horse that wrapped around her waist and held her yellow monkey balloon up for all to admire.
"I liked the magician too, when he made the coins disappear," Aurelia said.
"You know, I can probably drink 12 cups of tea," she boasted.
