The Convention of Bells - Every state and territory is invited to create a Liberty Bell

This marks the second Convention of Bells in Philadelphia; the first was
in 1876 when states sent Liberty Bells to the nation's Centennial Exhibition.

55 illuminated boats (one for each state and territory) followed by a powerful

over Philadelphia and Camden, NJ. The public event will take place on July

Summer Mummers Parade -The Mummers have been parading through Philadelphia
on New Year's Day for years in costumes that are heavy on sequins, feathers,
tradition and whimsy. This summer, Mummers residents of Philadelphia
neighborhoods will hold a special summer march for Conventioneers.

"I can't imagine a better place than for the next
president of the United States to be captured at the end of the convention
in front of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall,'' said Jan Larimer,
head of the convention site-selection committee. ``What a great way to
start the next century.''
