 Youth Tour Jennifer Dempsey has over 1,100 friends


on Facebook. Many–if not most–are previous Youth Tour kids. Known as Spike Momma for her spunky, red hairdo, Dempsey makes a lasting impression on the six dozen or so kids she chaperones each year to Washington, D.C. Below is an excerpt from the blog she wrote while on tour.


Dempsey is the director of member services,


education & youth at Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives (OAEC).

A closing note from Spike Momma


after Youth Tour: A huge thank you to all the
