For about five months the Green Bay Youth in Government program has been planning a trip to our nation's capital to witness the historic inauguration of Barack Obama as our nation's next president. The past few months have been spent fundraising, planning, and securing our inauguration tickets but on Monday January 19th all of our hard work will pay off when we depart from Green Bay and make our way to Washington D.C. Under the supervision of chaperons Julie Kneir and Kevin Dessart ten students will be attending the inauguration; the students are Adam Strebel, Bailey Jaworski, Cassandra Van Gompel, Chad Hughes, Emily Erdman, Garth Halvorsen, Joe Albers, Lis Grewe, Logan Finucan, and Caite Knier. This blog will be updated daily and we thank you for your interest in our trip.

ReplyDeleteLogan, sorry I don't know if there are any other musicians in your group, but, I got so excited when I saw Perlman playing violin I had to call your Mom. The crowds look simply amazing. And you saw it in person! Hope all are managing to stay warm.
