Today when we got to the office, we were told to go the Penguins rally that was being held in Market Square. They had us do this so we could get some candid photos of the crowd all rallied up. We kind of were in there against another radio station who was hosting the event. We were getting the photos to show to listeners on Facebook that “Hey! We are at the rally too!” When we thought we had enough photos, we texted them to Jordan, our other boss, and headed back to the office. When we got back to the office it was time for the Animal Friends live stream. The dog that came in this week was such a shy little puppy. We quickly brought her to the part of the station where we have the livestream because she was shaking so much from being stressed. We had to make the livestream a little longer than usual because more people will be able to tune in and watch the longer we have it. So the radio person who usually does these segments, Zak, talked a bit more about Animal Friends and how to foster dogs. After this we had contest winners to call and to write into the database. We picked the winners before calling them as well. After this we went into the prize closet and we set up some prize bags with a CD, DVD, and bottle opener in a Q92.9 bag. We really push for Q merch and promotion because it doesn’t get as many listeners or as much of a changing or diverse demographic as Bob. After picking out some prizes, we were done for the day.

Today Q was hosting a Daddy Daughter cruise on one of the Gateway Clipper boats. Fathers bought tickets beforehand and it was a little party for the girls to celebrate Father’s Day with their dads. There was a contest beforehand with Debbie Wilde and she gave away tickets to the cruise on air. She was here today too dancing with the girls. When we got there we hung up Q92.9 banners around the boat, and set up some prizes the girls could win in some games we had planned. We helped with the different contests that were held and gave out cookies that were given to us by a sponsor. There was a coloring contest with another sponsor for a Visa gift card. Towards the end there was a drawing for Kennywood tickets. After this, the boat docked and we took down the Q signs we hung up earlier and then we were finished.
