    Yes and yes. They're a lot of fun and when I've gone, not only are there tons of freebies (and doughnuts), but the speakers stand around and chat with you during breaks. They were all very nice and answered all my dumb questions.

    We take the boys for the High School seminar. They were 12 & 13 the first time they went and I was surprised at how engaged they were. I was worried they would be bored but they loved it and look forward to it every year. My youngest got in the car and asked if it was time to start sharpening the pitchforks when we got home, lol.

    Well. Some of those scholar conferences are no joke.

    We enjoy it. My kids were the youngest ones there by a long shot - most were college students but everything was well explained and my kids got a lot out of it. Their favorite speaker was Mark Thornton.

    We were at this recording. I didn't get in the video, though. If I had noticed the cameras, I would've sat closer to the front and waved.
