Civic Bee
The Buena Vista Civics Bee is co-hosted by the Buena Vista Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters of Chaffee County. It is a nationwide competition organized by the United States Chamber of Commerce Foundation and hosted by state and local Chambers across the US!
In early 2024, middle school students were invited to submit essays about how they would solve a local problem of their choice. Local judges scored the essays through an anonymous judging platform. The top 20 finalists have been notified and will go on to the live local competition on April 13th fro. 3pm to 5pm at the Buena Vista Heritage Museum’s Courthouse. Winners then compete in the State Civics Bee Competition. Winners from the states go on to compete in the national competition in Washington, DC.
