Well, maybe not the town, but the visitor center for sure! This weekend I ran the visitor center all on my own! It was great, and my gosh we had so many visitors! On Saturday I had 30+ people! A record for the week. Before I arrived, the V.C. was closed on the weekends, but once I showed up we are able to be open 7 days a week! Looks like my weekends will be on Thursday and Friday; I'm calling them adventure days! I've worked the last 9 days, with no break, so I think I'm ready for an adventure.
It was great though, on Saturday a whole mess of people from Michigan came in! And we knew a mutual person...SMALL WORLD! It's amazing what you learn from the people who come into the V.C. Once I find something to talk about, we're off. It took some getting used to, having to strike up a conversation with people, but over time it's becoming easier and easier.
As far as running the V.C., it's pretty simple. I basically manage the place. When people come in I entertain them, offer them coffee, answer questions, put in a video. But during down time, I read, I write, I plan for the coming weeks. Every day is very different. But it's not just down time for fun. I researched plants and their uses, and worked on putting together a kids program on fire safety and first aid (the first time I've done anything quite like this).
I'm going to post a few updates today, so read on!
