Brexton
Robertson of Oshkosh
was chosen as alternate for Boys’ State.
American Legion Cornhusker Boys’ State is
set up as a functional “51st state” and each boy learns how
government subdivisions operate by actually doing the job. Participants will
campaign for offices, hold elections, take part in band and chorus, compete in
athletics, and be involved in other varied activities as part of the
citizenship training program. They will set up their own state government and
draft bills.
Special lectures and addresses will be
delivered by experienced public officials and professional leaders throughout
Nebraska. Invitations have been sent to the Governor and Secretary of State
offices for special appearances at this year’s program. National acclaimed
motivational speakers are also scheduled to address the entire group.
