Okay, so I saw this headline about a local American Idol contestant getting some homecoming events, and I got curious. I figured, why not try to dig up some info and see what’s happening? It sounded like a fun little project.
First, I fired up Google. I kept my search pretty basic, something like “local American Idol contestant homecoming events”. I didn’t know the contestant’s name or the exact town, so I wanted to keep it broad.
I scrolled through the first few results – a couple of news articles, some Facebook event pages. It seemed like a few different towns were doing things, so I had to narrow it down.
I started clicking on the articles, skimming for names and locations. I saw one name pop up a few times, and a town that seemed familiar. Bingo! I think I found my contestant.
Next, I focused my search. I added the contestant’s name and the town to my search terms. Now I was getting more specific results – articles about parades, meet-and-greets, maybe even a concert. It was all starting to come together.
I spent some time going through the different event pages. I looked for dates, times, and locations. Some events were free, some required tickets. I made a mental note of the ones that sounded the most interesting.
What all things I gathered
- Contestant’s Name: Finally Found it.
- Hometown: Check.
- Event Types: Parades, meet-and-greets, concerts – the works!
- Dates and Times: Got a pretty good schedule.
- Locations: Specific parks, venues, etc.
So, yeah, that’s basically how I went about tracking down the info. It wasn’t rocket science, just a bit of online detective work. Now, if I really wanted to, I could probably go to one of these events myself!
