CivicFest During the RNC!


The Twin Cities are putting on "CivicFest" during the Republian National Convention this week. It is meant to showcase presidential, American and Minnesota history, and get people thinking about civic-minded things, especially those who are excluded from the RNC's proceedings.


It is in the Minneapolis Convention Center, and includes an Air Force One fuselage, presidential limousines, First Lady dresses, a Medal of Honor exhibit, a large mockup of the White House and lots of interactive things...




Luke was able to recite the presidential oath of office (with his Dad acting as the Chief Justice of the U.S.), and he received a free DVD of the action.

And, of course, we met some dignitaries like Abraham Lincoln, and this year's candidates... As you can see, we don't play favorites!
