Come See Rock Hill!

And here we have my shameless plug for the Come-See-Me Festival. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you either have never been to Rock Hill, SC or you're no fun. I discovered this 10-day festival sometime in my undergraduate days, I think when I saw the big fireworks show. I progressively started going to more events each year, and then the Parks and Rec department hired me up. My first job as a festival worker was in the form of dressing up like a big frog. They say in my office that you aren't really a part of the staff until you've been Glen the Frog. I agree. But this year I got put in charge of Souvenirs for the entire festival. And when I say get put in charge, this means I got voluntold. I knew I would have a thesis paper due at the same time and that my life would be crazy but why would I ever say no to bettering my community? So here I am with more responsibility than I can handle and my name in the brochure. But I have actually had a lot of fun being a team leader. I've met a lot of cool people and gotten to see a little bit of what it takes to plan and put on a 10-day event for about 70,000 people. This festival is at the top of my list for reasons why I love Rock Hill and being on the inside of it this year has only grown my love for the neighbors in my town even more. So all that to say...if you're in Rock Hill from the 7th-16th, I better see you at an event or read on your facebook status that you were at an event. And if you want to be my best friend and help me sell souvenirs then get at me. I'll hook you up with a free t-shirt. http://comeseeme.rockhill.net
