"The FRS Youth Tour is a wonderful opportunity for a local student from our area to
visit Washington D.C. to gain a better perspective on how regulatory decisions
impact our cooperative and rural areas such as ours. Kyle will also get the chance
to see a lot of historic sites in our nation’s capital," said Brian Bissonette, Paul
Bunyan Communications Marketing Supervisor.
