I like how they put out timely artifacts and explained them all.

Awesome seminar with such an amazing collection of documents and materials. I had a wonderful time and participated in great conversations. Loved this event!

Very fun! The games were great.

The ice cream was just Popsicle, which are alright. It wasn't that social also.
