Kept 'official'? First already carries the news: none of these five states had done it before. Kept the state names? They tell you where. Five governors tells you what happened.
This one really happened. This autumn the governors of Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and Washington each held their state's first Diwali hosted by a governor, according to the Consulate General of India in Seattle. North Dakota's governor, Kelly Armstrong, held his at the governor's residence in Bismarck on 29 October. Mayors and council members in 22 Washington cities lit the ceremonial lamp in their council chambers, and Oregon's governor holds one at the State Capitol in Salem on 10 November. (ANI and The American Bazaar, 6 November.)
