Capitol Hill Day - Last Day of Touring :(

Started the morning off at the United States Capitol for our co-op pictures. Then we split up into groups to meet with our local district representatives and touring of buildings around Capitol Hill. Some toured the Supreme Court, Library of Congress or the Capitol building. When we got back to the hotel it was free time for us as the chaperones all released us to the lower floor of the hotel where we spent the night dancing and playing games with kids from other states.

Our awesome chaperones. Our pics will be out on CDs and in the Rural Missouri later.
Former Youth Tour delegate Bret Funk from Macon, who is now communications director for Billy Long, speaks to us about what he learned from his trip as a YT delegate and how he got his current job. Big kudos to Macon Electric Cooperative worker Kami Mohn for setting this up!
