RNC Plans Unprecedented Pre-Convention Event - guess when

[CPUd]

It has finally arrived: The 2012 Republican National Convention.
In fact, in less than 26 days, the Host Committee’s Welcome
Event will take place on Sunday, August 26, 2012 at Tropicana
Field in St. Petersburg.. This marquis event will kick-off the week
of the Convention like never before. This is an inaugural event
which will be the first of its kind in the history of a presidential
nominating convention. Traditionally, delegates and members of
the media have been welcomed separately during two or more host
committee events; however, these events will be combined into
one monumental occasion that will showcase all of Tampa Bay,
including Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater.

Not sure if the time overlaps with Ron Paul's rally, but still makes for a long day for the press.

This is an evening event and it seems to be more about marketing area businesses, than conducting any RNC business.

More than 20,000 guests, including media and delegates, will be invited to the 2012 Tampa Bay Host Committee’s Welcome event, which will kick off the week of the Republican National Convention....

The Welcome Event is scheduled to take place on the eve of the Convention – August 26, 2012 – at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The invitation-only, cocktail-style reception will feature special performances showcasing local talent, innovative technologies with interactive elements and uniquely tailored design and décor, highlighting Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

The guest list will include delegates from the 50 United States and its six territories, local and national media, Republican National Committee members, dignitaries and special guests.

Interesting, a dog and pony show....wander if they did this to sway the media and certain interest party's away from PaulFest?.

No worries, it's all good. That's all I can say for now.

Or, it keeps the press away from Ron Paul.
