County Government Day

Over 120 Cedar County students representing all of the county's five high schools descended on the Cedar County Courthouse Wednesday for County Government Day. (above) County Court Judge Sara Bauer presided over a mock trial Wednesday afternoon, featuring a jury made up of 19 high school students. On Wendesday morning the students toured the various county offices (left) and listened to county officials, such as County Road Superintendent Carla Schmidt and County Commissioners Mike Meier, Dave McGregor and Dick Donner explain some of their many job responsibilities.
