Abigayle Fay from Forsyth proudly represented Mid-Yellowstone Electric Cooperative during the Youth Tour trip to Washington, D.C., on June 14th, 2025. This year's essay topic was, “What was the most significant event to occur in our nation during your lifetime? How did it impact you?” Abigayle thoughtfully selected September 11th, 2001, detailing its effects on her and her family. Congratulations, Abigayle!
