Busy bee

This weekend’s beautiful weather has changed back to cold and gloomy days and after 12 weeks of staying healthy this semester, alas, I have caught a cold.

Despite a runny nose I have been staying busy at the Blue Ribbon Foundation. April will be a busy month as I start sending out media kits and have a lot of designing, writing and contact list updating ahead of me for Iowan of the Day. Today marks my third week in the office and if time doesn’t slow down, the Corndog Kickoff will be here before we know it! Until then, I still have finals and two brother’s graduations.

In the meantime, if you find yourself with some spare time, I strongly encourage you to check out Willow Pottery’s Facebook page! They are making the State Fair pottery for the Blue Ribbon Foundation this year and have some super cool time lapse videos of their work on their page.

The Iowa State Fair also keeps announcing their concerts this summer with some awesome acts including Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley and Jason Derulo. If you’re a member of Fan Fair, you can take advantage of ordering tickets earlier than the general public. Simply donate $150 to the Fan Fair program to be eligible!

With four more weeks of the semester, I’m becoming more and more excited for summer and becoming full time at the Blue Ribbon Foundation. But hey, time flies when you’re having fun!
