Servants passed among the tables with trays of food and drinks, making sure that each guest would have all that he desired. After the meal, guests returned to the ballroom to dance and talk.

The delegates gain a deeper appreciation for their state government and a deeper reverence for the American way by residing in mythical cities as well as nominating and electing city, county, and state officers.
