| WELCOME TO BOYS STATE LIVE 2011! | |

Tuesday Evening Update
|
| For some citizens, tonight was a night that will change their lives. Tonight was Party Convention night. All members of each party got together for the State Caucus...half the state in one location and the other half in another location. The State Central Committee (of citizens) both organized and ran their own party convention. Each candidate running for state office gave his campaign speech to the entire party delegation. For most candidates, this was their first public speaking experience. Three minutes...speaking in front of nearly 350 people...trying to convince them that they should be elected. | ||

I came to Boys State not expecting too much, but I’ve experienced so much since being here. When I first arrived, I was overwhelmed with everything that this place had to offer. It has been everything and more than people have said it was. I’ve made countless friends, eaten tons of good food, and created memories that will last a lifetime. My experience at Boys State has been one that has helped me grow as a citizen, as well as a person overall. |
