A Party for the Media

Friday, February 3, 2012 - 
My first volunteer event was the Media Party at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. After fans enjoyed the Media Day at Lucas Oil Stadium, the media had the opportunity to network, relax, and enjoy an evening at the Speedway.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at the event. I spent the first hour protecting two trophies. You may know them - the Lombardi and the Borg Warner. Yup, the Super Bowl and the Indy 500 trophies. No biggie.

But after the quick protective stance I had been keeping, I received my assigned responsibility. My assigned volunteer job: model hostess. I walked around with these models who had great hats, designed by a local Indianapolis company, that represented the city. The women were all beautiful and friendly - we had a great time throughout the evening!



National media from all over were in attendance, as well as local media. Everyone seemed to have a great time at the event. It was a great evening - MB did a great job on the event - and I had a great time meeting the New Orleans host committee for next years big game. And this is only the beginning...

I wore green and gold all weekend in anticipation.  We decorated the house with balloons, green and yellow crepe paper and all of our beads, cowbells and pom poms from our previous celebrations.  Our friends arrived with food in hand (think wings, meatball sliders, guac, Big Boy burger bites, dips, cheese, sausage, etc.!) to compliment our build your own nacho bar, cheddar and sausage chowder, brats, beer dip and pretzels. 

We drank High Life.  And now, we are living it.

Last night was one of those nights where I wish I could have been in my home city...what an amazing atmosphere.  In 1996, when this previous happened (yes, we beat the New England Patriots. My dear Mass friends, I remember this well...I was 14) the excitement in the city was overwhelming. Pride was what everyone felt when the Lombardi trophy returned to Title Town.  I'm sure it is the same today, and will be for quite sometime.

A BIG congratulations to my boys, the Green Bay Packers, for being this year's Super Bowl Champions!  Here are some photos from Green Bay - wish I could have been there!
