did other states do this?
I remember a time in 5th grade where I had to do a "Famous Missourian night" where everyone in school got into costumes of famous people from the Show Me state and have a short presentation on them.
It was set up kinda like a living wax museum thing, where we had to hold a pose until someone came close to us, where we'd give our presentation, and they'd walk away and we's go back to our pose
It was on a class by class basis, so each class might've had multiple versions of the same dude
I remember doing Walt Disney, not to brag, but I was an adorable little gremlin, I had my best suit and tie on, my Grandma gave me a Mickey Mouse plush to have in my hand, and I just really put on a show for my family
I was recently thinking back to that, and I started to wonder...."hey, did any other states do something similar?"
I've rarely only gone out of state on technicality, since I have a cousin who lives of the Kansas part of Kansas City, I would often cross the border to see them. That's really the only time I ever left Missouri state borders tho, so I dunno
Can anyone else from early Gen Z (I was born in 2006, so let's say 2002 to 2009 as a rough reference point) have to do a similar thing where you dressed up and gave a presentation as someone famous from your state?
If so, share your stories. What was different about your famous statesman night compared to mine?
