The Tour at ABC 4 Studio


Tuesday night I met Bryan in Salt Lake and got to go take a small tour of ABC 4 Studio. Bryan really took his young men's for their activity but I wanted to tag along. There were a ton of scout groups there and a big young women's group there also. We all went into the studio and sat on benchs right in front of the big green screen where the weather is done. We took the kids thinking that there would be more mobility during the night. But of course we sat for a good hour and a bunch of the people that you see on the news talked to us and we got to ask them questions. We got to see Terry Wood, Barb Smith, Dana Greene (the sports guy) and Marti Skold (the weather lady). It was so fun to see them in real life and learn more about them and what they do. When Marti came out and told us how she got into learning about weather I took mayley to sit on the front row because no one was sitting there. She told us how the green screen works and was looking for someone with GREEN on that night. I happened to be sitting there and she picked me to come up and I went invisiable because I was wearing green. I thought that was fun. She was such a personable lady and so cute with the kids. After we got done that night she was passing out pens that looked like an umbrella and I waited until most everyone was gone. I asked her if I could take a picture with her and Bry got one of us on his phone! She put her arm around me and was just super friendly! She thanked me for helping her out and invited me to come watch them live on the Good Things Utah set. And....that was bout it because other people wanted to talk to her also. Wow I met someone kinda famous. I have always been super shy to talk to people like that so that was a big step for me I guess.
For those of you who are wondering who she is: She is the 3rd to the right in the pic above with the blonde hair!
