Intern's picture

Hi fair-goers! As it is my first week on the job, I think this is the perfect time to introduce myself. My name is Emily Friedricks and I am one of the three interns for the Blue Ribbon Foundation this summer. I am currently finishing up my junior year at Central College as a Communication Studies major and a Psychology minor. At Central, I write for our newspaper (The Ray) and play the piano. At the Fair, my project will be the Iowan of the Day Program; and I will be working with everything from the nomination forms, to greeting the winners on the day of their award ceremony. I have attended and loved the Fair all my life, so having the opportunity to spend all summer here is quite a treat. Driving along Grand Ave. this morning instantly put me in a great mood as I remembered all of the fond memories I have of the Fair. I cannot wait to make even more memories this summer. After spending my first few days in the office, I can tell it will be a busy summer, but it will definitely be one of the best summers of my life.
