Interview

Kimberly Duede was involved in a car accident in northern Illinois over winter break.

The 19 year-old transfer student from Brigham Young University was traveling home for the holidays when her green Ford Focus slid off an icy road. The accident occurred 20 minutes outside of Freeport, Ill, Duedes hometown. When interviewed about the incident Duede commented on local wildlife saying, "If I saw big foot I would shoot it." Duede went on to say, " I have shot a russian assault rifle before."

Event Preview

I am planning to do my event preview on the annual Soulard Mardi Gras. I plan to interview a spokesperson from Mardi Gras Inc., as well as some establishments in the neighborhood. I think this story matters because it's the third largest Mardi Gras celebration in the world and attracts many different people from all around the midwest.
