Madalynn A.’s Hat: T1

This hat represents a piece of my Nashville journey, going back to the beginning of high school. My first time in Nashville was on my church mission trip, prior to my freshman year. On our free activity night, our group went to the Wildhorse Saloon, where we ate dinner and at least attempted to line dance. After graduating high school, my first stop was the University of Kansas, hence the Jayhawk hat, where I went for two years before transferring to Belmont University in Nashville. Today, I get to be the Fall 2024 Marketing Intern at Opry Entertainment Group, assisting with the opening of Category 10 in the building where Wildhorse once lived. What a full circle experience! Without this piece of my history, I would never be where I am today.
