Busy, Busy, Busy

Hi everyone!

How is it June 21st already? This summer is flying by, but probably because we are so busy preparing for the Corndog Kickoff and the Iowa State Fair! I say that we're "busy" right now, but I know for a fact this doesn't even compare to how busy we will be during the Corndog Kickoff or the Fair! Although feeling too busy often makes me feel anxious, I understand that feeling a little overwhelmed is part of this internship. After all, it's what makes all of this so exciting!

On Tuesday, we hosted a potluck dinner for the volunteers who are helping prep for the Corndog Kickoff. It was a beautiful sunny day, and we enjoyed everyone's special dishes outside on the patio at the Blue Ribbon Foundation. After dinner, we discussed what's new to the Corndog Kickoff, and I truly believe that guests will be not only be impressed but also entertained!

I'm eager to see the Corndog Kickoff come together with the decorations, auction items, live entertainment and, of course, the volunteers! The Corndog Kickoff volunteer schedule is almost full, which makes me sigh a breath of relief. Without our gracious volunteers, the Corndog Kickoff wouldn't be possible, so I am thankful that I will be working with people who care enough about the Iowa State Fair to donate their time and energy!

Soon enough it will be August 8th, and the Fair will begin. I know I will be truly busy by then!

Until next time,

Kate
