Some local employers are giving the day off to their employees Wednesday so they can beat the crowds flocking to Hertz Arena on Halloween night to see President Donald Trump at his Make America Great Again rally.

And some owners are giving themselves the day off.

“If any of our employees want to go then I don’t see any problem with letting them take the day to go watch our president at a campaign rally … any president whether it was Obama or Nixon or anybody,” said Adam Botana, president of Bay Water Boat Rentals in Bonita Springs.

Botana said his parents and the company's owners, Omar and Sherry Botana, are Trump supporters and will be leaving early Wednesday morning to attend the campaign rally.

“I’ve talked to other local small businesses and a lot of them are going,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a good strong turnout.”

Companies like Crowther Roofing in Fort Myers, Marine Concepts in Cape Coral and Evelyn and Arthur women’s clothing store in Bonita Springs, all said they have not had any employees ask for the day off, but would try to accommodate the requests if necessary.

“No one employed at our firm has requested the day off or to be let off early,” Crowther Roofing CEO Lee S. Crowther said. “Had any of those requests materialized, the decision for approval would have been made by individual division managers and supervisors based on current company work commitments.”

This is Trump’s third rally in Southwest Florida since announcing his run for presidency in June 2015. He last visited Southwest Florida on Sept. 14, 2017, for Hurricane Irma recovery efforts.

Trump’s campaign organization announced Wednesday that top Republicans from the state will be in attendance, including Ron DeSantis, who won the GOP primary for governor in August after he was in endorsed by Trump.

The event doesn’t begin until 7 p.m. but if you are planning to catch the event after work on Wednesday, you will more than likely find yourself waiting in a very long line.

“The arena fits a little more than 8,000 people and there was probably twice that number outside last time,” said Daniel Endrizal III, an estate planning attorney in Fort Myers who is taking the day off from work to attend the rally.

Endrizal and his partner Julie Sturgeon, who owns Hi-Lites Salon and Spa in Cape Coral, plan to camp out from 2 a.m. Wednesday morning to assure they gain entrance into the event at Hertz Arena, formerly known as Germain Arena.

“The last time we went to a Trump rally here we got six people from the door and the fire marshal shut us down,” he said. “We waited hours and hours in line and got that close.”

Doors will open at 4 p.m. but like Endrizal and Sturgeon, many will be lined up long before that.
