Day 2

New adventures were had by all. The group visited the top of the St. Louis Arch. A few of the delegates and chaperones even got stuck in the tram on the way down from the top! The arch stands 630ft in the air and it is very majestic to look down and see the mighty Mississippi River flowing and the people standing on its banks. Most of the day was spent on the bus, even longer due to the “wonderful road construction” near the Illinois and Ohio boarders. During today’s bus ride all of the delegates put their heads together and came up with the Kansas chant. The chant is: “Kansas!! Who rocks the House; I say Kansas rocks the house! And when Kansas rocks the house we rock it all the way down!” This chant will be used for the opening ceremonies at the National 4-H Center. We settled in for the night at Grove City, Ohio and are all looking forward to the next stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
