Sometimes I'm on the News

The job I have for the City of Tempe working with kids and learning the ins and outs of programming, is so much fun to me. I think the only thing that would be more fun than what I'm doing right now, is if I got to plan special events too.

Anyways, short post, but because I work in the recreation department on Tempe Town Lake, I get to promote the programs and classes that we put on. We do this in various ways. We put out fliers, post on facebook, instagram, twitter, and on the bulletin board in the facilities. But sometimes, we get to be on the News!

This morning I had to wake up early to be on channel 3 to be in the background of the news. Channel three was doing  a segment on a Kid's event that is going to happen at Kawanis park this Saturday morning. My job was to be in a kayak in the pond behind them with some other staff members and my boss in order to tell the public that we- The City of Tempe- will also be at the event allowing kids and adults to try out our kayaks and try to get them to join our classes and events that take place through the year.


It was fun! Literally took 10 minutes and then we were done. I like how my boss went about it. Alicia acts like its no big deal- does it all the time. She actually doesn't like being in the media, so when she is she makes me feel like its no big deal and keeps me humble.

But the five year old in me was pretty excited - not gonna lie.

  1. Last year my daughter was on fox news a lot. They were always at the girls and boys club in Tempe. She was always in the front or close to the front. She would come home and say"Daddy i was on the news today". I would say you were"thats great" and she would proceed to show me on the computer.
