So as everyone knows, in just about three weeks downtown Indianapolis will go CRAZY with Super Bowl visitors and events! It is really exciting to see the preparations as the city gets ready for the big day. Those of us who are volunteering are getting ready, too – we had a big training session in mid-December to go over more of the details. Just imagine figuring out where 8,000 volunteers are going to park! I can tell you that there are several sites around downtown that we’ll be able to park at and then get shuttled into the heart of the action.
I have to admit, I am really excited about what comes next – picking up our uniforms! All volunteers will receive a warm jacket, long-sleeve shirt and either a hat or ear band with the Super Bowl XLVI logo. I am particularly stoked to get one of the “Super Scarves” that were hand-knit by volunteers. Laugh at me if you will, but I am really proud to get to wear one.
And if you thought the Art Center wasn’t caught up in the Super Bowl excitement, think again! We will be playing host to one of the 33 “Super Cars” painted with NFL team colors and placed at attractions all over town. We can’t wait to find out which team’s colors will grace the Churchman-Fehsenfeld Gallery. We’d all prefer Colts blue, of course…
I’ll check in again as the big weekend draws closer – maybe even sneak in a photo of our uniforms. Until then, have a Super Day!
