Zilker Park Kite Festival social media coordinator

The Exchange Club of Austin leaders asked me to set up and maintain a Facebook fan page and Twitter feed. It's really exciting to have the opportunity to promote the Zilker Park Kite Festival to members of the two top social media networks. Fan and follow the festival right now!
