Week VI

A road block was reached this week. I have been contacting various forms of media, or I should say that I have been leaving a hundred voicemails on machines of people that won't call me back. Oh Well. Michelle told me that I will just have to keep calling and bugging people until I get a response from someone. I finally got a commitment from Town & Gown to publish a follow-up article on the event we are helping to promote. By the way, the event is PA Preferred Best Chef of Pennsylvania Competition that will be taking place during the Ag Progress days August 19th and 20th. I have less than a month to get more media sources interested in talking about and spreading the news about the event.

I also have been working on a press release to send to newspapers and whoever else I can think of to get to promote the event. I am working with multiple Ag Progress people to help get the event broadcasted. I was concerned that I didn't have enough time to promote the event but when I made the connection with Ag Progress I found out that I was ahead of them when it came to contacting certain media. This gave me a little relief.

I really hope I can pull this off!!!!!

Awh Christa this sounds stressful!
I hate when people never call you back... When I get a message I always call that person back within 24 hours... =[ I hope this all works out for you!! :>
