00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.292
My name is Emma Deaner.

2
00:00:01.292 --> 00:00:04.543
I'm the associate events manager at Glensheen Mansion.

3
00:00:04.543 --> 00:00:08.114
Well, Glensheen Mansion is a beautiful, historic estate

4
00:00:08.114 --> 00:00:10.158
that is located on the shores

5
00:00:10.158 --> 00:00:12.369 line:15% 
of Lake Superior here in Duluth.

6
00:00:12.369 --> 00:00:15.445 line:15% 
And it was built by the Congdon family

7
00:00:15.445 --> 00:00:18.048 line:15% 
and they have a long, withstanding history

8
00:00:18.048 --> 00:00:19.170 line:15% 
within the Duluth community.

9
00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:22.219 line:15% 
They spearheaded the launch of the North Shore drive,

10
00:00:22.219 --> 00:00:24.532
and a lot of other wonderful,

11
00:00:24.532 --> 00:00:26.445
philanthropic things for our community.

12
00:00:26.445 --> 00:00:29.123 line:15% 
We feature a wide variety of events

13
00:00:29.123 --> 00:00:30.958 line:15% 
within four different categories.

14
00:00:30.958 --> 00:00:32.759 line:15% 
You could host your wedding there

15
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.506 line:15% 
but you could also host a corporate retreat there.

16
00:00:35.506 --> 00:00:37.631 line:15% 
The University of Minnesota hosts

17
00:00:37.631 --> 00:00:40.437
over 45 events there a year.

18
00:00:40.437 --> 00:00:43.117
So there's different departments within the University

19
00:00:43.117 --> 00:00:44.973
that also utilize it.

20
00:00:44.973 --> 00:00:48.707
It's a wonderful asset that the University has.

21
00:00:48.707 --> 00:00:50.972
And then we also host our own events.

22
00:00:50.972 --> 00:00:53.774
Glensheen will host a weekly event

23
00:00:53.774 --> 00:00:56.207
and every month it's a different theme.

24
00:00:56.207 --> 00:00:59.035
This month were featuring a 'Chef in the Garden' series,

25
00:00:59.035 --> 00:01:02.106
where we bring in a UMD sous chef

26
00:01:02.106 --> 00:01:06.456
and he cooks up a meal from locally sourced ingredients

27
00:01:06.456 --> 00:01:09.616
and some that are from our own gardens.

28
00:01:09.616 --> 00:01:11.942 line:15% 
I am in constant communication with people,

29
00:01:11.942 --> 00:01:15.523 line:15% 
whether it's my coworkers or clients on the phone

30
00:01:15.523 --> 00:01:20.523 line:15% 
or blasting off inspirational emails throughout the day,

31
00:01:20.767 --> 00:01:22.071
processing a lot of paper work,

32
00:01:22.071 --> 00:01:24.699
because it takes a lot to actualize an event,

33
00:01:24.699 --> 00:01:27.777
not only with the ideation of it

34
00:01:27.777 --> 00:01:31.610
and the creativity that lives behind an event,

35
00:01:32.842 --> 00:01:35.060
but also all of the details leading up to that.

36
00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:37.396
So there's a lot of paper work

37
00:01:37.396 --> 00:01:39.211
and things that you need to get in place

38
00:01:39.211 --> 00:01:42.462
before you can actually bring everything to fruition.

39
00:01:42.462 --> 00:01:44.398
When an event comes in,

40
00:01:44.398 --> 00:01:47.407
you might be at the office maybe half of the day

41
00:01:47.407 --> 00:01:49.171
and then once the event takes over,

42
00:01:49.171 --> 00:01:52.538
then you're making sure this is set up,

43
00:01:52.538 --> 00:01:54.173 line:15% 
you're talking with the caterer,

44
00:01:54.173 --> 00:01:56.234 line:15% 
you're bringing in the musicians,

45
00:01:56.234 --> 00:01:58.154 line:15% 
you're also getting the crew together.

46
00:01:58.154 --> 00:02:01.321 line:15% 
You can be in many places all at once.

47
00:02:02.597 --> 00:02:04.680
So it's really exciting.
