Youth in Government students host "Jail & Bail" event

The Cook County Community YMCA has developed a “Youth in Government” program. Local students are learning about our democracy and how they can play a role.

The group is holding a fundraiser to help them make a visit to the Minnesota State Capitol next year. The Youth in Government “Jail & Bail” event will be at the Cook County YMCA on Tuesday, November 28 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. 

Community members that were jailed: Pat Eliason, Molly Hicken, Jay Arrow Smith-Decoux, Heidi Doo-Kirk, Sue Abrahamson, Tina Krauz, Karen Blackburn, Chad Benesh, Emily Marshall, Nicole Bockovich, Shawna Willis, and Steve Duchein
