Garrett Nielson is the delegate representing LaBarge at the Wyoming Boys’ State 2017 Session in Douglas.
Wyoming Boys State, held each year in June, is a chance for high school juniors from across the state to participate in a week’s worth of activities to gain knowledge of their state and its governmental structure. Delegates learn firsthand how government works, experiencing what it takes to create and enact laws.
Speakers include Gov. Matthew H. Mead and United States Senators Mike Enzi and John Barasso. In the process of working together, the delegates develop lifelong friendships.
The week culminates with a visit to the State Capitol in Cheyenne, where delegates occupy the House and Senate Chambers, as well as the various offices and agencies of Wyoming’s government. Delegates have the opportunity to meet the governor and many of his staff members in this full day of activities.
