Country Radio Seminar Wrap Up!!

The last two days of CRS were crazy for me! I was busy from bell to bell, and I loved every minute of it! Thursday kicked off with interview after interview. One of my favorite stops was with Mike Betten from KLMJ in Hampton, Iowa! I first met Mike at last year’s CRS, not only has Mike been extremely supportive of me, we’ve kept in touch, and I visited him in Iowa, so by now, we’re old friends! Another great thing about Thursday was getting to participate in a few Public Service Announcements for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. After a full day of interviews, Thursday concluded with the GrassRoots Promotion dinner at the Revolving Restaurant on top of the Sheraton Hotel! It was a lot of fun! I got to see a bunch of the DJ’s who have been so supportive of me, and meet the ones that have also supported me, but I hadn’t met yet! It was an awesome night, and great way to end the day!

Friday started with an interview by Rosemary Young! Rosemary is an old friend of my publicist, so we had a great time! I felt like I had known her for years too when we were chatting! Our picture was even on Country Aircheck, (I put it at the bottom)! And even though I had talked to him on the phone and felt like I knew him, I finally met in person Steve Martin from LexCountry in Lexington, KY! Another great thing about Friday was running into a couple of my favorite DJ’s, Gator Glass from Froggy in Frankfort, KY, and Ed Carter from WKSR in Pulaski, TN! It’s always great to see friends when you least expect it!

Country Radio Seminar 2011 has officially concluded! I had a blast! People are always surprised to hear that I like getting interviewed, but I really do. I think it’s a lot of fun, and a good way for people to get to know me! Plus, it’s always very interesting for me to see the different questions I get asked! Though I would have to say my favorite part of the week was getting to meet so many new people, and catch up with the people I already knew! All in all, I would have to say my 2011 CRS experience was perfect and I can’t wait for next year!!

Lots of Love,
