What Are Your Plans For Inauguration Day?

There is lots of excitement surrounding Tuesday's upcoming inauguration of President Elect Obama. Various events will take place in Washington D.C. to commemorate the occasion including a parade, swearing in ceremony and several inaugural balls.

Obviously most of us are not on the invite list for these posh events. Instead, the majority of the country will watch the event(s) on television. And, as with the Super Bowl, many are throwing at home parties with fun foods and creative dishes.

Several communities and associations are also planning their own celebrations. One such event is that of the Chicago Inaugural Ball to be held at the Aragon Ballroom. Other communities planning similar events include Portland, Las Vegas and Cincinnati.

Although our plans are not definite, we will likely watch the event on television with friends. What are your plans for Tuesday? How do you plan to commemorate this historic occasion?

Hey There everyone!

I will be going to the inauguration. I am a radio show host for 103.7 The Beat in Muskegon, Michigan and will be reporting back to the radio station from there. Rosie(the operations manager)and I are excited. Our general manager Paul or PA as we call him and John will be doing the same from other locations as well. We will be arriving in Williamsburg, Va early Monday and will partake of the activities. Monday is Martin Luther King's Birthday and I am sure that people all over will be celebrating too! I it amazing that this Inaguration is taking place the day after his birthday. King was a phenomonal man in his own right. He was an agent of change during a time when the country was in an uproar. Now we have another advocator of change going in the White House. Dr King would be very proud. We will be reporting all day at www.1037thebeat.com Join us!
