Parties planned for Inauguration Day
Lawrence residents have various plans to celebrate Inauguration Day for President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday.
Obama will take the oath of office Tuesday morning. The swearing-in ceremony starts at 11 a.m. Lawrence time. Evening events in Lawrence include:
• Douglas County Democrats will sponsor an Inauguration Day celebration at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E.
