Groups of students came to visit the state capitol. They were attracted to the practitioners' peaceful exercise music. Many students and teachers were happy to receive the truth-clarifying materials, and some of them learned the Falun Gong exercises.

A member of the Asia-Pacific Association of Minnesota came to the Falun Dafa Day activities. He expressed concern about the persecution of Falun Gong and the human rights abuses in China. Before the activity began, practitioners received many proclamations from a number of cities in Minnesota.
