With a cup of orange juice in one hand and headphones over my ear to cover up the pressure being in this airplane, looking back yesterday was simply amazing.
For the event, people began to come in flocks as they came from all locations from this event, from those who live in Seguin, to those who live in the San Antonio and Austin areas. They all came for one things, food for a great cause.
The restaurants there were deep as this event was the best ticket in town that night. According to the Seguin Gazette, there was 14 restaurants represented that night as they ranged from oriental, to Mexican, to Italian, to American, and so much more. What was really cool about this event was not only did it publicize the restaurants that perhaps people didn't know about, but due to the judging, it provided a little bragging rights to the winners.
For the judging there was two panels, the "people's choice," which were all the guest who bought a ticket, and then there was the "celebrity panel," which was a group of officials, attorneys, firemen, and more who performed a "secret tasting" as unlike the people, the celebrity panelists didn't know where each food came from.
During the event, not only was their food, but there was entertainment, as it was good to see my campus pastor and ex-provost perform under their band name, "The Harley's." Along with music, there was a auction, raffle, as well as a presentation by my partner-in-crime. At the end of the night we had seen that it
had been a big success.
Overall, I enjoyed this trip as I was able to interview the Kelly's and to see what motivated them from a small event in the park to an annual extravaganza.
I was able to see my friends and some people at TLU, was able to crash a night with them as if I was back at school, and then turnaround and fly back to Dallas as the intern, simply love it. After all, who can go back to their school and say they're there for a business trip . . . me. Stay tuned
