"This was my first rodeo"

Almost exactly a year ago, I began an incredible journey. I was hired as a PR intern for the International Finals Youth Rodeo. My friends and family laughed when they heard, the idea of me working a rodeo was apparently very hilarious. But those scorching, long, and exhausting days were some of my proudest moments. I went in knowing nothing about rodeo and really a limited knowledge of public relations and came out loving both of them.

This internship taught me so much. I met with well known media outlets such as Oklahoma News 9, Fox 25 and News Channel 4. I was on the radio. I met and worked with amazing people, and I got to hear stories of these youth that had extraordinary talent.

For the first time though, I was listening to their stories so that others could write them and it was a welcome change. These were tough competitors and some of the most polite people I have every worked with.

Here is a story that I was a part of; it was incredible to watch them film.

Fox 25 came early {and I mean early} to film one morning. It turned out to be a downpour of a morning. But we made it work! I will never forget flying in the golf-cart behind the shoots trying to get the camera crew to the announcement stand without getting stuck in the mud.

The whole week was a whirlwind I will never forget, on day I hope to maybe work it again, so I can accurately say, “This ain’t my first rodeo.”
