National History Day state tournament

[pegkerr]

Fiona and Corwyn had their competition this morning.

We watched their performance and they did a good job. But the competition was also excellent, and the girls didn't make it to finals. The coordinator who did the parent orientation said that Minnesota has the largest state history day competition in the country; it's half the size of the national competition. About 30,000 kids participate in National History day here in Minnesota, and a little over 1,000 made it to state. So they did really, really well to get there.

Fiona's not too broken up about not making it to nationals; she's already thinking about next year and figures she has several more years to try. But the week's hard work is catching up with her and she was really tired tonight.

Corwyn. Female. In retrospect, the clue was there-- names involving Y seem to be more likely to be female-- but hi there, thanks for reminding me not to assume.
