[Stateside Twins' Eyeshot] Visions of Things to Be

Twins Days received the "Festival of the Year Award" from the Greater Ohio Showman's Association. The committee received a phone call from the Soviet Union inviting us to Moscow to participate in their first Twins Day. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, with the chance to build international relations. A delegation of 12 embarked on a 13-hour flight to Moscow. We awarded medals and a proclamation making all winners Honorary Citizens of Twinsburg, Ohio. We visited Moscow's McDonalds, the largest in the world.

Twins Days adopts a 5-phase building plan. We picked up our visiting Russian friends and headed back to their motel where they were met by a very large contingent from Twins Days, complete with flowers for each person. The Russians were given a standing ovation after they were introduced at the festival, and, needless to say, they were the main attraction this year. There were 2,510 sets of twins registered this year.
