Tyler city sketch

Story by Sami O’Neal

The city of Tyler in Skillman County resides on floor six. They are a group of citizens with the floor theme of Cornhuskers. The welcome poster states, “Welcome to the Boneyard”.  Decorating the citizens’ doors are the famed Husker “N” and the Blue Star Banners for delegates with family members in service.  These close-knit delegates share seats on the chairs during any time spent together and can also be found sharing spots on the floor.

Christina Woodside says that the atmosphere in the city of Tyler is very relaxed. Woodside said that this is very helpful to come back to after a busy day as a Girls State counselor. The citizens of Tyler are also known to be very accepting of each other. They are willing to include others and learn more about each other. Tyler citizens also have been known to go the extra mile in helping each other with campaigning.

The city recently elected Madison Schlachter as their Mayor. Schlachter says that the town is fun and, “pretty awesome”. Citizens of Tyler can work hard when they need to finish their projects. No one on the floor is afraid of being heard which makes them good leaders with strong opinions.
