4-H Topeka Trip

This past weekend I had the privilege of taking the local 4-H group to the Kansas capitol, Topeka. Sunday night the kids participated in a mock legislative process. The second bill was on ethanol. Steven got up and with his allotted brief period of time gave an illustration of the uselessness of ethanol.

In this clip, Amelia and Rachel argue for school consolidation. Unlike everyone's emotional arguments, they actually dealt with cold hard facts.

On Monday, we took the Capitol building tour and sat in on some of the House bills. The kids had their picture taken with the Governor. We watched an immigration debate and we also saw some Kansas Medal of Honor winners be recognized. We all learned a lot of what goes on in Topeka.
