The 2005 ICMA Conference wrapped up today with a closing session led by this noted Minnesotan:
Garrison Keillor regaled the audience with his storytelling centering on, of course, the people and culture of Minnesota. The assembled group of 3,000+ loved it. He was very entertaining, and ended it with a few poignant words about the importance of the work of a city manager in sustaining communities across the country.
It was a nice way to end the conference. Back to the office tomorrow.
