The Nels T Wold Post 20 American Legion Auxiliary selected Sarah Ryan and Michelle Pahlen to represent Crookston at Minnesota Girls State on June 9-15 at Bethel College in Arden Hills. They will be seniors at Crookston High School in the fall.
The weeklong experience will consist of participation in the various levels and branches of our Minnesota government. Every girl will hold an office. There will be campaigning and elections. There will be precinct caucuses and state conventions. Highlights of the week will be the Inauguration of the Governor, State Constitutional officers, and legislative sessions. They will be held in the House and Senate chambers at the State Capitol in St Paul. Mock Trials will be held in the Supreme Court chambers.
