LPA Conference in Nashville a Success
Under the heading of you just never know who will be in Nashville next, The Little People of America (LPA) conference was here in our city last week bringing 2,200 visitors. A daily itinerary included tours of local attractions, medical clinics to discuss dwarf-specific health issues, nightly dinners and dances, a talent show, athletic competitions, and even a round of speed dating. A massive expo also included hundreds of products to help make daily living easier for the short-statured. Our city accommodated the variety of activities without effort. The LPA, a national nonprofit organization that’s been around since 1957, includes all 200-plus forms of dwarfism, typically caused by a variety of medical conditions. The locations of these meeting are voted on by their members and we are very honored to have been chosen as the location for this year’s event.
