Lilburn Delegate Ilene Johnson: 'We Loved Michelle'

Ilene Johnson, a local delegate from the Lilburn area, is having a fun-filled, yet informative time at the Democratic National Convention this week.

Already, she's attended several formal events, done quite a bit of walking, and listened to First Lady Michelle Obama's heartfelt message to Americans about her husband -- the president.

(Check out her delegate diary about her experiences, including a big shindig were Johnson said that "it was fun to see all my friends in their finest. I usually see most of these folks sweaty from canvassing or at state party meetings."

The convention is now in its second official day. Tonight's must-watch speaker is former President Bill Clinton.

In a quick email to Lilburn-Mountain Park, Johnson had this to say about her experiences so far:

"Everything is great! It was a late night last night, and we loved Michelle.   Today Jesse Jackson spoke at breakfast. Ashley Judd spoke at the Women’s caucus. But I’ll tell ya, walking shoes are needed. Our feet are hurtin’!"
