Hillary Clinton Returns Home to Park Ridge to Unveil New Historical Association Exhibit
JT manages logistics, advance and media for Hillary Clinton, who returned home to help the Park Ridge Historical Society unveil “The Trailblazing Women of Park Ridge”
On October 11, JT managed the logistics, advance and media for Hillary Clinton, who returned home to help the Park Ridge Historical Society unveil “The Trailblazing Women of Park Ridge,” a new exhibit set to open in Spring of 2020 that will honor the Park Ridge roots of four woman, including Clinton, who “made history and made a difference in the world.”
The event was held at the historic Pickwick Theater, with an audience comprised of over 500 students from local school districts, as well as members of the Historical Society, the local community and childhood friends of Clinton. It featured the release of the documentary, “Dare to Dream” – which chronicles Clinton’s childhood in Park Ridge. After the documentary, high school student journalists from Clinton’s alma maters Maine East and Maine South, interviewed her on topics ranging from the 2016 election, immigration, and women’s empowerment to what was like to grow up in Park Ridge.
Also on hand were 50 young Girl Scouts from Field School, where Clinton attended elementary school (and where she was also a Girl Scout), who presented her with a commemorative book and flowers.
