GAC Tour Bus Visits Scripps

The Great American Country tour bus made a pit stop in Knoxville at the Scripps main office to have a "meet and greet" day with the employees. The GAC bus travels across the country stopping at rodeos.

My department, Corporate Communications, hosted this event and because the lady in charge was on vacation, it was mine and the other intern's jobs to make sure it all ran smoothly. It was already planned out so we were there to facilitate and set it up. The bus arrived around 2pm along with the food so while GAC was setting up their equipment, we set up the food on tables outside. We had cute little goodie bags with chicken salad, trail mix, cookies and beef jerky as well as glass bottled root beers. All employees were invited to come out and get tours of the bus, rope and lasso a fake bull and get autographs from real cowboys, Kllin Vonahn and Nick Sartain.

Around 300 employees came out to the event and everyone had a great time! It is a true testament to Scripps commitment to their employees to let them spend a few hours of the day having fun with a brand and enjoying each other's company. The event was a success and I can not wait to help with more events!
