Puxico, MO -  Cole Barnfield, a junior at Puxico High School, was nominated by the faculty to represent PHS at the 81st Annual American Legion Boys State of Missouri. 

When being considered for nomination to MO Boys State, one must hold top "qualities of leadership, character, and citizenship" amongst their peers. 

While attending this convention, Cole will get to experience the operational and fundamental status of the American government for eight fun-filled days. 

This year the conference will be held on June 11th - 13th in Warrensburg, Missouri.
