Katie takes the trip of a lifetime to Obama Inauguration celebration
Murray State University student Katie DeCillo will be one of an estimated four million people to travel to Washington, D.C., for President-elect Barack Obama's Inauguration on Jan. 20. DeCillo, a sophomore electronic media major from Murray, along with Shasta O'Neal, electronic media specialist from MSU’s Broadcast Media Services office, will take in the sights and sounds of the nation’s capitol during this special time.
DeCillo and O'Neal will blend the inauguration of the United States’ first African American president with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial and the birthday of President George Washington. The duo will work together to post daily video blogs from DeCillo focusing on the experience of being in Washington while history is being made.
They are set to attend the Kentucky on the Potomac party on Sunday and the Bluegrass Ball on Monday where they will mingle with politicians and other Kentucky notables.
Key stops may include the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. In addition to that, they will stake out the Inaugural Parade from Matt Hunter’s sports bar, Penn Quarters.

WPSD-TV in Paducah, Ky., and KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Mo., also plan to use DeCillo’s blog in part of their inauguration coverage.
