The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) celebrated a very important milestone this year. The USDA celebrated 150 years of service to the people of the United States and the NRCS celebrated 75 years of service. On June 8 at Nancy English park, several agencies met to bury the time capsule that will be opened in 25 years. It contained maps, photos, memorabilia, and other documents that will be of interest in the coming years. I had the opportunity to put the time capsule together, take photos for the event, and write another blog article on the celebration. I also had the chance to write a press release for this event which did show up in the Casper Star Tribune. This gave basic information of the five W's: Who, what, where, when, and why. Please take a look at the link provided below for additional photos and the original write up:

The advantage of writing another blog article lead to more improvements in my writing. Consistency has been the hardest obstacle so far, but it has been very helpful to have this experience and learn from Brenda Ling, who has a great deal of experience. Every event throughout the summer brought another chance to improve my writing skills and get feedback from all aspects of the writing process.
