Excitement is building as the Top 20 applicants in the First Annual Buena Vista/National Civics Bee head to the Ivy Ballroom at the Surf Hotel for an evening of competition narrowing the field to three local finalists who will go on to state competition in Denver in-mid-May.
“It’s so awesome seeing what is important to these kids and how they are beginning to understand that they CAN be a part of change, the right way,” said BV Chamber CEO and President Heather Rupska, who has led the effort to bring this national event to the local area.
