Clausen to participate in State Geo Bee Friday

Payton Clausen not only won the Phillips County Geography Bee, but he passed a state entrance test with flying colors.

This means Clausen will participate in the State Geography Bee held this Friday in Billings.

The winner of the State Geo Bee will travel to the National Geographic Society's headquarters in Washington D.C. to compete in the national competition on May 11-13.

One of the questions Clausen had to answer during the state qualifying test was, If you had to pick one endangered animal to save, which one would you pick? Where does it live? Why would you want to try to save it.
