Its a busy life in Youth Sports

Well i have not been on the blog lately. I have been working a great deal of hours on top of my other job. So let's get down to it. On March 22nd, I work at Glendale's first Folk and Heritage Festival. It was held at the Historic Area of Sahuaro Ranch Park. This event was a two day festival that had five stages of entertainment such as bands and interactive workshops. I was the lead for the children's activities, which basically meant I was the contact for the event cordinator to ensure that the area was problem free. And I got to carry a radio. Always cool. Halfway through the day, the wind had started to whip through the event with a lot of force and since it was held outdoors it posed a problem. I had to move the children's arts and craft area because there was too much flying dust in the area it had previously been and it was causing a health and safety hazard to children. Soon after moving, the wind continued to beat down the children's craft area, so we had to pack it up early. The staff in that area was sent around the entire festival to put down all of the pop-up tents for fear that the wind would carry them causing them to injure a patron. Aside from the wind, the event was successful.
