Gov.-elect Mark Dayton will celebrate his inaugural with a "People's Inaugural Ball" on Saturday, Jan. 8, which will be open to all Minnesotans and have a "blue jeans to black tie" dress code. The event will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tickets will be $30 -- $15 for students and persons with low incomes. On Monday, Jan. 3, when Dayton is sworn in under the theme "Going To Work For Minnesota", the governor-elect will begin the day with Lt. Gov.-elect Yvonne Prettner Solon by distributing breakfast to students at a St. Paul elementary school. He will be sworn in at the Landmark Center in St. Paul at noon. Following the swearing in, Dayton will host an open house and reception at the State Capitol, which will include activities for children and exhibits by the Minnesota Historical Society.
