Howdy, (Southern Voice)
I haven't updated the blog since the 15th so I thought I'd write a little bit about what is going on the past couple of days. So far I am really enjoying the experience and meeting a lot of cool people along the way! There are people from all over..... University of Cincinnati, University of South Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio University, University of Kentucky. From what I've been told I heard a ton of people applied for this internship.
May 16, 17:
On these two days we just finished up loading all the trailers for equipment that we need for the tour. It was a lot of work and a lot of things that went into the trailers but we finally finished. The interns that arrived today and arriving and tomorrow have it made considering we did all the hard work of loading the trailers.
Today, May 18th:
Today was by far the best day of the internship. We actually got to travel to a local tournament here in Lexington, KY and set up the whole fan fest which we will be doing the entire summer. We had a bunch of tents (around 10) set up in a U shape so parents and players could go from tent to tent looking a the different products. In the middle we had wiffle ball bats out so kids could pitch to each other and have a good time. At the tents we were selling Louisville Slugger baseball bats, gloves, Adidas turf shoes, subscription to baseball youth magazine, Evo shield equipment, glove molding kit and other things I am probably leaving out. It was really cool interacting with kids throwing them the wiffle ball and letting them guys how hard they threw. We were also interviewing them and basically just making sure they were having a good time. At the same time we would be trying to sell the parents on the different items that we had. I ended up having a lot of fun playing with the kids, giving away free beef jerky and on the plus side I sold a $120 dollar Omaha baseball bat to some parent. Overall, it was a solid day to see what we will be doing over the summer. Either tomorrow or Monday I will figure more about where I will be this summer including what I will be mainly selling.
Anyways, we are all going out to dinner right now at some pizza place.... I am already getting tired of this eating out stuff. But I better get used to it consider its what I will be doing all summer.
Let me know if you guys have any questions or comments!

Thanks for the post. It's nice hearing about all the different things that you have done so far. Does all this bring back memories of when YOU were the kid at the tourneys/fan fests??
