and their families.
An orientation meet
ing was held where rules and
guidelines were discussed,
fall ap p earan ces for the
new court that are coming
up and future schedules and
requirements. All candidates
are quite familiar with the
responsibilities o f being a
public relations representa
tive for Morrow County as
they all have 4-H, FFA and or
previously serv ed on a court.
They are all very excited to
start their official reign, with
