Out in the field

Yesterday, Joe and I covered the 46th annual Detroit RV show, and what a great experience it was! This was my first time as co-editor out of the office acting as a reporter. Joe and I were there mainly to shoot video for our website and get a local connection to the show in the form of National RV in Belleville. Norm Wells, the manager of the store, was great to talk to and gave quite a bit of information about the latest and greatest in campers and RVs. As someone who's not particularly well informed about that kind of thing, I still found it interesting nonetheless.

Who else did we meet? Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson. That was definitely an amazing opportunity, and she's a very friendly and outgoing woman. She did a little promo about the DNR's recreational passport program, which allows anyone with a "P" sticker on their license plate to get into all 99 state parks. I talked with DNR official Tom Wolfe a little more about the program and am planning on writing a little blurb about what the passport program can do for you.

With all the videos and photos Joe and I shot, expect our website to be brimming with new stuff this weekend! The RV show lasts through this weekend, so be sure to check it out before it leaves. And for the kids, there are lots of information booths with prizes, and even some trainer dogs to pet! (Dogs happen to be a minor obsession of mine, so I was particularly excited to see them.) The show is located at the Suburban Collection Showplace, formerly the Rock Financial Showplace. It's located at 46100 Grand River Avenue, Novi, MI 48374.
