The Past Week


I'd like to say first that the week has been some what very eventful

Monday, July 11, 2011 (Day 46): Was the annual "Changing of the Gavel" banquet and I my job was to help with the annual banquet raffle. So I was busy throughout the day with the raffle. When the Banquet started I think that everything went good at the banquet. The entertainment for the banquet was entertaining (the picture below)

On Tuesday, July 12, 2011 (Day 47): Was just a bad day all around for me.

On Wednesday and the Rest of the Week: We started getting ready for the Chambers big move to the new building

And here are some pictures of Copano bay

Hot at the Rockport Art Festival

Day 32:
(Writing the blog on day 34) The Art Festival is during July 2-3, the July forth weekend, which is a very big weekend here in the Rockport-Fulton area. For the past days and even weeks, people have been calling and calling to find out if there will be fireworks and if there are anymore hotel rooms in town. So on Saturday I went down to the Art Festival and volunteered from 12-3pm. It was Hot outside, well its been hot outside. Luckily, I was in an air conditioned tent selling beverages. People would come inside saying that they wanted to get inside the tubs of ice because it was so hot outside. I think i did good in the beverage station because I got 5 dollars in tips (which of course I didn't keep). After I was done with my shift I went to look around in the Art Show. I could not believe all the great art work that work there. There was all types
of art like painting, jewelry, and pottery among others. There were even some artist that were painting like the pic on the right. There was also very interesting pieces like sculptures shaped like robots

Day 11: Rockport Music Festival


















I started my Saturday by going to the Rockport's First Music Festival (picture on the top right) and I helped selling tickets for beverages. I have to say i think it went well even though it was really hot outside. So when my small shift was done i decided to go to downtown Rockport and visit the shops their. On my way there i stopped at the beach because there was alot of kites in the air and i had to take a picture (pic. on top left). After i went to the shops at Rockport i went to eat and then after a while i went back to the Music Festival.

Day 9 & 10: Computers

As you can tell by the title Day 9 & 10 have been all about computers

So I'm not sure if i have already said this but at the Chamber of Commerce I do work that has to do with Economic Development.

One Day 9 I fixed a list of almost 20 buildings that have no business in them.
and today Day 10 (6/9/2011) I started working on the EDC website. (Just adding more stuff to it to make it better )

It kinda seems like i didn't do much know that i have it in writing. But i did. I actually really enjoy interning at the Chamber cause I'm always busy and in a way I am helping a community.

By the way, Rockport-Fulton area is hopefully going to be full this weekend. Because The Rockport Music Festival is going on and hopefully that is a big success


Day 5: Pictures


Well these are the picture i took on Saturday, June 4. The first thing I did was go to the beach. There wasn't alot of people at the beach it felt kind of empty in the morning (but as time passed more people came).
