Young men from across the state spent the week training and setting up a mock government. Packy then introduced Thomas Cowden, a senior at Skaneateles High School, who was this year's attendee. Thomas has aspirations of leading the school's baseball team this year and attending the U.S. Naval Academy when he graduates from high school. Thomas spoke passionately about his Boy's State experience telling us about a typical day and thanked us for making the experience possible.
