• Sherburne Wright Cable Commission 1st Quarter 2011 Report Trailer Trivia This year,in about a month's time we have already done 8 trailer shoots! These productions have been very popular with all our cities and we have started to amass an amazing group of volunteers. We have worked in varied conditions from blizzards to sub zero temperatures, but still we have managed to log over 200 volunteer hours for this month. That is an impressive statistic considering that we are just unveiling coverage of community based sports. The volunteers have included a wide range of people from parents,teachers, students and coaches to a father and daughter duo who announced the girl's basketball game we covered in Delano. On Tuesday night,February 1st, I was really impressed by the work a high school senior girl did announcing the girl's basketball game all by herself between Buffalo and Big Lake. She knew every player and all their stats and even was able to name off all the pep band members and cheerleaders. The response to our community coverage has been exciting. We have received many • positive comments from so many people. Mark has done a great job working with the student camera operators. Almost to a person they have asked to be called again when we are shooting an event in their town. The real impressive stat though is the number of new viewers we are creating for each cities government channel. People would much rather watch their children,relatives and friends then see a replay of a movie for the 40th time! We are also archiving each event that we tape and saving them for the time when we can play them back on our future area wide channel. Trailer Upgrades We have added new storage to the front and back of the trailer. After months of tripping over our giant cases,we designed a new type of drawer based storage for all the equipment P« Y St e 4414.■ • 4i4 ,.
