DonB! as Uncle Sam?


Last night I was asked to walk my stilts as Uncle Sam for the NAFSA International Conference Closing Ceremonies here in Minneapolis. Being 9 feet tall, I had many people asking for photos with them.

NAFSA is the International Association of Educators. Their 60th annual conference will take place in Washington DC next year, so the theme for the closing party this year was "Washington DC". Uncle Sam is a political figure, without being particularly political I guess.

It was a fun evening of meet & greet, with people from all over the world. I met folks from The Netherlands, Germany, France, Australia, the Ukraine, The United Kingdom, and of course a few from the United States.
