2008 International Convention of Germans from Russia

These are random photographs from the International Convention of Germans from Russia in Casper, Wyoming. July 28 - August 3, 2008.

This brought together members of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia and the Germans from Russia Heritage Society. We recognize it's been more than a decade since this event took place, but we're leaving this gallery up for historical purposes – and just in case you're a bit nostalgic, too!

If you'd like to take a peek at the website we created for the convention, you'll find it at 2008 Germans from Russia Convention.

Thanks, Governor!

The Governor couldn't stay long -- but long enough to concede that he doesn't pronounce his name as it's pronounced in German. Even though he's not a G-R, we think he did a fine job and appreciate his stopping in to greet us to Casper and to Wyoming.
