The convention was originally conceived, organized, and continues to be run by a committee of volunteers.

This year's conventions, which are free of charge and open to the public, continue a tradition begun in 1893.

The convention continued in session for two and a half weeks.

The convention, which opened Wednesday, continues throughout tomorrow evening.

But the conventions continued to be about political ideas until this year.

The convention continues to be held annually at that location.

This was voted down by 88 to 45 and the next day the convention continued its debate.

These conventions would continue on until the late 1980s.

Expansion of exhibit and conference space is expected to continue in the upcoming years as the convention continues to maintain a strong growth rate.

The convention opens today and will continue through Friday, with evening concerts open to the public free of charge.
