THE WASHINGTON PAVILION – SIOUX FALLS, SD:
This was the first time I’ve been to the Washington Pavilion and I had a great time working with Regina and Michele. During our five days together, I conducted a workshop for occupational therapists; visited 7 schools; worked with clients at Sanford Children’s Hospital; did an in-service program for therapists at Avera Health; worked with clients at the Veteran’s Hospital; made the rounds at Avera Hospital; and brought the show to the stage of the Washington Pavilion. In total, we were able to directly impact the lives of more than 300 individuals. More importantly, we were able to lay the foundation for continuing this work long after my truck left the loading dock.
A reporter from the Argus Leader attended the workshop for therapists. She did a bit of video to demonstrate one of the tricks and wrote this story.
In advance of the show, I made several area media appearances including four radio stations (from rock to country) and an interview on the KSFY Morning News. The interview on KSFY went very well but the highlight for me was something that I always ask to do but rarely get the opportunity. Shawn Cable actually let me do the weather forecast and then tweeted about it! You can check out the video HERE.
You may remember reading last week we had a little trouble with the truck. I had to replace a fuel injector while we were in Lincoln. It all worked out and things seemed to be running great…until we left Omaha for Miami. Suddenly, that familiar black smoke started pouring out of the exhaust and we heard that knocking noise. Eli immediately pulled it over.
We called a tow truck and, yes, here we are again – held up in a hotel room waiting for them to repair the truck on Monday. After that, Chase and I have a mad dash driving experience to get us to Miami before Tuesday night.
Here are a few pictures from the week in Sioux Falls:
