The Kentucky Rural Electric Frankfort Youth Tour

The Kentucky Rural Electric Frankfort Youth Tour is a precursor to the Washington Youth Tour.

During this one-day trip to Kentuckys capital city, participants will have the opportunity to tour the Governors Mansion and the Capitol and to meet with many of Kentuckys leading elected and appointed leaders. This activity is usually held in April on a date that does not conflict with spring break or statewide CATS testing.
