DESCRIPTION:Last year's first-ever Internet Cat Video Festival was conceiv
 ed at the Walker as a modest celebration to bring online communities toget
 her in the real world. The #catvidfest became its own viral phenomenon\, d
 rawing a crowd of more than 10\,000 fans to the Walker’s Open Field. The
  event caught the attention of local\, national\, and international audien
 ces and media and spawned “copy-cat” festivals--and a touring program-
 -around the country.     \nFor its second edition\, the Internet Cat Video
  Festival 2013 screens at the Great Minnesota Get-Together: the State Fair
  Grandstand. Bringing along the same spirit of community and collaboration
 \, this year's showcase of feline hijinks includes music\, special guests\
 , community art projects\, and booths hosting local animal resource nonpro
 fits. Bonus: #catvidfest 2013 concludes with fireworks!     \nWatch for up
