Homeschool kids: Capitol trek annual treat

A record number of home-schooled students — some dressed in Revolutionary War-era garb — showed up for this year’s Homeschool Day at the Capitol.
“It was so much fun,” gushed 12-year-old Ryland Squire of Northglenn, who sported a tri-corner hat. “Everything was fun.”
There was a rally Thursday on the west steps of the Capitol featuring Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia , a march around the Capitol, a fife-and-drum corps presentation and a home-schooled student reciting Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me liberty or give me death”  speech performed at the nearby Pillar of Fire Church.
It was the 19th annual event for homeschool children.
