Jeff Hunt o f lone attended the conference. The KYSG Conference was historical for several reasons. Not only was it the first KYSG to be held in a legislative “off-year", but it was also the first time the 4-H group had the opportunity to conduct a mock legislative session on the actual Senate Floor. The night before the mock session, delegates developed two bills to be presented before the “senate”. The ideas were real issues that the youth were concerned about.

At one point, KYSG Senate President Ley la Estes from Crook County, who presided from the president’s podium, yielded her seat to the real Senate President, Gene Derfler. Senator Derfler spoke to the delegates for about 45 minutes, with most of the time being spent answering questions asked by the 4-H members. Other speakers during the day included, Duane Bales, the assistant to Speaker o f the House Mark Simmons, Greg Chaimov from Legislative Counsel, Senator Peter C ourtney and Nancy Savage from the Salem FBI office. In addition to the mock legislative session, the delegates also conducted a mock gubernatorial election. Delegates were divided into 10 groups and each group took one of the 10 gubernatorial candidates listed in the M arion County voter pamphlet, and developed their candidate’s platform. One youth in each group was selected to be the candidate and on Friday, stepped up to the Senate President’s podium and gave a short cam paign speech. The mock primary resulted in Jim Hill, portrayed by Ariel Winegar from Grant County, as the Democrat candidate and Jack Roberts, portrayed by Jason Magnuson from Lane County, as the Republican candidate. On Saturday, the KYSG delegates elected Jack Roberts as Oregon’s next governor. A nother highlight o f the Conference was a Friday evening dinner cruise on the Willamette River aboard the paddle wheeler Willamette Queen. The cruise was intended to provide a cultural and historical perspective o f a time in Oregon’s history when riverboats were very important to the economy and social life of the people of the state. The Conference closed on Saturday with the gubernatorial election and a quiz bowl to see how much the delegates had learned during the Conference. It was an exciting, educational and fun-filled event for over 50 Oregon 4-H members, said a spokesperson.
