-- For immediate release --
 Secretary of State Ruth Johnson visited Harvey-Swanson
Elementary School in Ortonville today as part of the school’s annual
festival and challenged students' knowledge of Michigan in a fun, trivia game.
Johnson was a special guest for youngsters in second through fifth grades at the school. She talked with the kids about what
the Secretary of State’s Office does (educating and licensing drivers, helping
administer elections, etc.) and then played a trivia game with them.
“What is the name of the large sand dune
named after an Indian legend?” she asked, looking for someone to answer
Sleeping Bear Dunes. “What Michigan inventor invented the light bulb?" she inquired,
waiting for the correct answer of Thomas Edison.
Secretary
Johnson was one of several presenters to participate in the school's festival. The students’ day began with an assembly
and also featured a classic car show at the school.
