Contest Winners Heading Out on Summer Trips This follow-up article appeared in the July 2006 Rural Missouri Magazine. Three area high school juniors won all-expense paid trips to Washington, D.C., courtesy of Farmers' Electric Cooperative.

The winners of the C.Y.C.L.E. event are Catherine Jones, the daughter of Susan Jones, Jameson; Kristin Holcer, the daughter or Jana and Ron Holcer, Meadville; and Alisha Clem, the daughter of Tena and Mike Clem, Meadville.
