9:28 PM: Delegates take in Civic Fest


Delegates from across the country convened tonight at the Minneapolis Convention Center to take in Civic Fest, a look at American history produced by the Minneapolis St. Paul 2008 Host Committee. More than 100 corporations, organizations and individuals made donations to support the event.

Attendees were ushered by volunteers down a long red carpet into a giant room filled with dozens of exhibits, tables of finger food and bars with free drinks. Displays included mock-ups of Air Force One, the Oval Office and the White House Rose Garden plus looks at historical documents and the history of Minnesota.
