It seems like yesterday I was
blogging about all of the latest incredible experiences I have had thus far as
the Ontario Marketing Intern. The past three weeks have gone by so fast as I
have been keeping myself busy travelling through many parts of Ontario.
Nearing the end of the
school year, my schedule was packed with visits across the province. This year,
I was fortunate enough to attend eight schools. It has been a work in progress
in Ontario as the school boards are very strict who is allowed to come speak to
students. The last school I attended, I was able to spend two days teaching students
about ANGUS! The first day I was in classrooms from grade 3-5. The second day I
was apart of a careers day. This allowed students to choose between a variation
of presentations to participate in. It was a fantastic experience working with
the students answering a variety of questions the students had.
I must say travelling around
to different schools has been a highlight as the Marketing Intern. It is very
rewarding being able to work with students and change the way they think about
the beef industry and Angus beef!
It was great going back into schools that I had attended in my younger
years. I was fortunate enough to work with one of my own teachers as she is
assisting me in proofing a letter to send out to schools for the intern next
year!
In between all of these school visits, I also was able to attend some
cattle shows throughout Ontario. I was fortunate enough to attend Millbrook
Fair and judge the Jackpot show consisting of over 20 heifer calves. It was
both a great experience and honor to be asked to judge this show.
After all of this excitement in Ontario, I had the opportunity to
attend the Calgary Stampede. I am currently working in the Cattle Trail
answering questions and educating the public about the beef industry and Angus
beef.
Up next, Showdown!
