This week we introduce our long awaited summer intern, Young Mitchell. And thanks to Young Mitchell this week’s video actually went through the editing phase. Jarrod & Mitchell discuss their travels together around Illinois in the last four days. Yesterday they visited Princeton and the Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park. Then moved onto Matthiessen State Park for some hiking, photographing & video making. They did make mention of nearby Buffalo Rock State Park, even though they did not stop. This week they also went out to the Clubhouse at Lake of the Woods for a scouting trip for tonight’s Champaign County Forest Preserve District photo shot. Crisp and professional head shots are in the works. Jarrod flipped the questions onto me for a little chit chat about a current logo project with Buffalo Grove Park District. The interview did not end without some wildlife shout outs: buffalo, black squirrels and a fox. Enjoy!

Weekly interviews between Campfire Concepts president, Jarrod Scheunemann, and visual designer, Jessie Scheunemann, focus on management strategies and best practices observed during their travels in Illinois to visit local parks and recreation providers. Join them in a treehouse, on the road, or on-location to learn more about parks and recreation in Illinois.
