Here at The Washington Center we've already been encouraging you to stand out at the conventions by wearing campaign campaign buttons and other political memorabilia. This story in today's New York Times exemplifies even more reasons to do so!
Participants should have tons of opportunities to collect buttons, sticks, T-shirts, banners and all sorts of other campaign memorabilia throughout both conventions--and you can trade these items with folks throughout the week. In fact, for many people, that's one of their favorite unofficial activities throughout the convention.
Regis University, which is hosting students and faculty during the seminar surrounding the Democratic National Conventions, has caught campaign memorabilia fever, too. The University’s Dayton Memorial Library is exhibiting rare, historical campaign items from several U.S. presidents and political candidates as part of its Notarianni Political Collection. The collection includes 1908 Denver Democratic National Convention objects. The exhibit is on display through September 25.
