Indiana Statehouse
This is Indiana's capital building with the senate and legislature and supreme court and lower courts also. Very impressive. It was built back in the 1800's and had a face lift in the 1970's. Absolutely beautiful design.
The Mayor of Indianapolis, Greg Ballard, attended and gave a short presentation.(on the left)
We were treated to the music of a local marching high school band.
And of course FOOD, yes it was a reception and there were tables of great food. The highlight being the "deep fried biscuits" with "apple butter" Oh my I have to say I am not in favor of most deep fried foods but this was delicious. I have to say I tired several. Gooooooood!!
And last but not least was the tours through the floors of the Statehouse. We actually went into the Legislative Room and sat in their chairs.... beautiful And then we headed down the hall to the Senate Room- unfortunately we were not able to go into the room but got a good view. Then on Indiana Supreme Court. Wow, talk about going back into the past. A wonderful room, very ornate, original furniture, preserved wood doors and panels. Very restful room.
Back to the hotel to get organized and ready for the first full day of the conference tomorrow.
