Volunteering at the 4th annual USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington DC was an incredible experience according to the author. Over 300,000 people attended the two-day event held in April across 2 million square feet of exhibits. The author's favorite moment was hearing a little girl say it was the best day of her life in the universe, making the author's lost voice and sore feet worthwhile. The author thanks all the volunteers and exhibitors who helped make the 4th festival an even greater success and encourages planning for the 5th annual event in April 2018.

1. Hope everyonehad a fantastic weekend at the 4th
USA Science & Engineering
Festival, April 16th
and 17th
in Washington, DC. I volunteered at
www.usasciencefestival.org . I was therewith 300,000+of my closestfriends. It
was WOW!!UNBELIEVEABLE!!2 Million squarefeet of INCREDIBLE.
My favoritemoment was when everyonewas leaving Sunday and I asked a little
girl if she had a good time and she said, "This has beenthe most fantastic day of
my life in the universe!" That one comment made losing my voice and my
aching feet well worthit.
Thank you, Courtney Counts, Jennifer Long, Anne, Naomi, Debbie, all the "yellow"
shirts and the thousands of volunteers and all the exhibitors who made this, the
4th Festivaleven better.
