We continue this week as we look back to Laurapalooza 2010. Day Two of my Laurapalooza trip was spent in Mankato. It turned out I wasn’t needed to do much for the conference that day so instead I caught some of the sights of Mankato. However, that evening was the first event of the conference. It was an ice cream social, moved indoors because of the heat, and attended by many of the big names of the conference much to the excitement of all.
Arrival in Mankato! This video includes Maude Hart Lovelace information, a look around the University of Minnesota-Mankato campus, and, towards the end, the ice cream social that marks the beginning of the conference. Look for welcomes from Amy Lauters, the Betsy-Tacy Society, John E. Miller, and Dean Butler.
