Although the five honorary capitals have been chosen,we at the <br /> Sesquicentennial Commission would like to extend an invitation to your community to <br /> participate in the Sesquicentennial Spotlight Tour. <br /> Throughout 2008 one month will be dedicated to highlight each of the state's five natural <br /> regions. We will be developing a road map with stops along the way to Capital for a Day <br /> nominated communities,historic sites, state parks and other noteworthy landmarks. <br /> These maps will be made available to Minnesotans and visitors throughout the year. <br /> Our aim with the Sesquicentennial Spotlight Tours is to give nominated communities the <br /> chance showcase their area and its unique aspects. We also want to help visitors see each <br /> natural region through the frame of the Sesquicentennial themes: arts & culture, <br /> education,health&wellness, innovation, and our great outdoors &natural resources. <br /> If you and your town are interested in participating in the Sesquicentennial Spotlight <br /> Tour,please let us know. Also, all nominated communities with populations of 5000 <br /> people or less are invited for special recognition at the 6th annual Small Town <br /> Symposium at the Center for Small Towns,University of Minnesota, Morris, on June 3 & <br /> 4, 2008. Let us know if you would like to be included in that event, too.We look forward <br /> to working with you next year! <br /> Sincerely, <br /> d2u,tt <br /> iri(1 elotat <br /> �zuazC /I'� <br /> Jane Leonard Claire Plank <br /> Executive Director Community Outreach Coordinator <br /> Minnesota Statehood Sesquicentennial Commission <br /> Cay Shea Hellervik,Commission Chair*Reatha Clark King,Commission Vice-Chair*Jane Leonard,Executive Director <br /> Senator Don Betzold*Rep.Sondra Erickson*Beth Hartwig*Tess Hohman*Sarah Janecek*Rep.Morrie Lanning*Cal Larson <br /> Rep.Diane Loeffler *Senator Gen Olson*Senator Pat Pariseau*Mark Peterson*Dallas Ross*Senator Ann Rest*Rep.Loren Solberg*Joe C.Swedberg <br />
