Wednesday: It's all about Preparation

After changing some things, I was ready to begin my preparation for my trip in less than 24 hours. In the meeting yesterday I was given bits of information about the event, but for me, to learn more about what the event was, would benefit me in producing a better story. I had lived in Seguin for nearly four
years, and had never heard about the duo they call, "the Kelly's."

These two ladies, who started working for Shoes for Orphan Souls for years, started a little show drive to see how it would go. Despite small resources and limited publicity of the event, the drive went extremely well, as the Kelly's were on to something. Through the years they began to do more events, whether
the "shoe races," benefit dinners, and much more. The icon that had created so much buzz was their newest event, which they called the "Taste of Seguin."

At this event, restaurants and vendors from all over the town come together to not only present their finest dishes, but to help for a good cause, the shoes for orphan souls. This event, which requires a paid ticket, includes not only being able to taste the food, but also let's one be a judge in voting for their favorites that they ate. Overall, it looked like a great event to see in action.

This trip was going to be different from the start as this would be my first "flying" trip for Buckner. For Camp Buckner, I was able to drive to Burnet, but for this event, since it was technically for only one day, through the smallest means, I was able to fly out there and back. This was cool, but only because
the flight to San Antonio from Dallas is MUCH easier, but because I have a great fascination for planes.

What also made this trip different from my other one, was the fact that I had a "partner" this time around. Not only was I to cover the story, along with taking photos, but I also would go with a representative of the program, who would facilitate to the needs that "the Kelly's" had during the event. So through planning with her, we set the time to meet, our plans in Seguin, and our plans in coming back. Tomorrow I'm off again . . .stay tuned.
