2012 Youth Tour Winner . . .

Chris Dimler

The Electric Cooperative Youth Tour has brought high school juniors and seniors to Washington, D.C. every June since the late 1950's. Students compete for slots for this unique opportunity and are selected for this program by their local electric cooperative. McLean Electric's selection process takes the form of an essay contest. This year's winner is Chris Dimler, he is the Son of Ken and Laurie Dimler of Garrison.

During his time in Washington, Chris will learn about electric cooperatives, American history and U.S. government he will walk away with a greater understanding of his role as a citizen.

Chris will participate in National Youth Day, visit with our representative and senators, and explore the sights around the nation's capital.

He will travel with other students from North Dakota and get to interact with students his age from across the nation. There is no doubt that he will see much of the rich history that is America. Walking the hallowed halls of Congress is a memory that will always stay with him.
