American Legion Cornhusker Boys’ State is set up as a functional “51st state” and each

Campaigned for offices, held elections, took part in band and chorus, competed in athletics, and were

Special lectures and addresses were delivered by experienced public officials and
professional leaders throughout Nebraska. Invitations were sent to the Governor and
Secretary of State offices for special appearances at this year’s program. National acclaimed
motivational speakers were also scheduled to address the entire group.
