ey loyal readers, it’s me, Kamen Rose, your representative of all things Super Bowl Village. Cannon Multimedia went Downtown to the Village TWICE! We saw the Colts Biggest Fan, Giants fans, cheerleaders, Super Bowl cars, a few Patriots fans (although this is the only acknowledgment they’ll get in this entire article) and HAPPY people in Indianapolis. Yes they were smiling, really, really big. Anyway, let me fill you in on what exactly we did and why all these people were there in the first place. Everywhere the Super Bowl goes, a celebration follows. Indy’s just so happens to be one of the best ever. The city prepared for years for the Super Bowl and it paid off. Murals were painted all over Downtown. Our city looked gorgeous! The new J.W. Marriott Hotel even put up a HUGE poster of the Lombardi Trophy on the side of their building. It was pretty epic. Anyway, back to the Village and why our trip rocked. . .

Getting there
A
s soon as we set foot Downtown, we felt the energy sizzle in the air. We saw the giant helmet pictures of the Giants and Patriots helmets first. The boys soon got distracted by the games and while they stood in line, we girls went straight for what we came for, the media. Our goal was to interview people from channels 13, 8, and any other newscasters we could get our hands on. Everyone we talked to was so happy to be in the Village. All everyone talked about was how the Village is going to help the city. Along the way we saw the Colts Biggest Fan. He was so decked out in Colts gear that his entire identity was hidden. He had body paint,

buttons, streamers, the works. After the CBF, we got slightly distracted by a giant wheel that had turf (football field grass for people who don’t know the lingo) on it. Let’s just say, it was very amusing watching the kids fall down. Next came the CARS. Every single football team had its own race car. You weren’t supposed to touch them, but you know people; they can’t help themselves. If you follow the line of cars, you reach the final destination of our adventure, the Giant XLVI letters, right in the middle of the Circle. Our trip to the village was only the start. There is tons more to come. This is it from Kamen, your sales chick, for now.
