CHEC Announces 2020 Youth Tour Winners

Four local students are headed to Washington, D.C. this summer on what past participants have deemed “the trip of a lifetime.”

Hanna Russell from Gore, Breanna Vinson from Gans, Madison Walters from Muldrow, and Kaytie Cash from Porum won the 2020 Youth Tour essay contest in March after judges selected their essays from the pool of applicants. CHEC’s board and staff will honor the winners and their families at a banquet, where the winners read their essays to those in attendance. The contest was open to high school juniors all across CHEC’s service area.

As winners of the 2020 Youth Tour contest, Hanna, Breanna, Madison and Kaytie will travel to the nation’s capital in June alongside 70 of their peers from across the state who have also won their local electric co-op’s Youth Tour contests.

They will spend the week touring Washington, D.C.’s historic monuments and museums, meeting with Oklahoma’sCongressional delegation and making new, lifelong friends. Follow their journey on the Oklahoma Youth Tour Facebook page.
