“We had a lot of amazing girls try out this year and we wish we could send them all but unfortunately we are only allotted four girls,” stated Girls State Chairman Gina Swasey. “This is a great opportunity for these girls to not only meet new friends but earn three college political science credits and they also have the chance to earn many scholarships. We wish them the best and would like to thank Ferron City, Emery City and Desert View Credit Union for their generous support of this very important program.”
