My brother-in-law lives in St. Louis and sent me this. Not that it's news to anyone here, but nice to see the word spreading! 2011 World Festival <http://www.firstlegoleague.org/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=254> World Festival is the only official tournament operated by the FIRST organization. In 2011, World Festival is moving to St. Louis, MO USA. In the past, World Festival has taken place at the Georgia Dome and World Congress Center (home of the 1996 Olympics) in Atlanta, GA USA and EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL USA. World Festival is a culminating celebration of the FLL season, NOT a level of competition. Regions are selected by lottery to send their 1st Place Champion's Award winning team to World Festival. Operational Partners can also nominate teams that have demonstrated exceptional <http://www.firstlegoleague.org/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=258> Core Values throughout the season to attend World Festival. These nominations are reviewed by a committee, and only a few are selected. World Festival hosts about 85 teams each year, which includes both Champion's Award winning and Core Values teams. Currently, there are about 100 FLL regions around the world. World Festival is a beautiful mix of cultures and skill sets, a true celebration of FLL. _____ 2011 World Festival April 27 - 30, 2011 http://www.explorestlouis.com/americasCenter/public.asp Convention Plaza St. Louis, MO, USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE your settings, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list". -- VADCFLL administrative announcements are sent via VADCFLL-ADMIN-L.
