Rio del Sol Kiwanis Club partnered with Farmington Civic Center to produce a pseudo debate between long-time pals and rivals, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The performance seems to prove that at one time political rivals were civil to each other—even while in disagreement. Called “We Disagreed as Rational Friends,” the comedic production was presented as a less-scripted, more-improvised game-show format, including a “Benjamin Franklin Lightning Round.” The Kiwanis Club fundraiser supports their numerous children’s programs such as Clothes for Kids, Shoes for Kids, Coats for Kids–plus an African Library project.
