DENISON, Texas (KXII) - Students from Denison and Cognac, France, are spending the final week of a youth ambassador exchange program in Texas, after wrapping up the France portion of the trip.

The program is rooted in a sister-city relationship between the two cities dating to the 1800s.

For incoming Denison senior Lelah McCrary, the trip abroad was a defining experience."It's the opportunity of a lifetime," McCrary said.
