Jonathan and Chester sit down with the newest addition to the Auburn Emergency Management family -- Camille Schuetze! Camille comes all the way from FEMA where she traveled the country (and world a little -- hello Guam???) doing emergency management and disaster recovery from everything to wildfires to floods (which we obviously coulda really used last momth Camille joined the City of Auburn in early January and is STOKED to get started. Hear about her journey, how she's settling into Auburn and her digs, and stick around for Emerging Cs, Seas and Seize trivia at the end. Will Camille best the Chest???

First of all -- we're sorry. We didn't mean to take off two episodes, but forgive us, the City of Auburn was dealing with a bit of uh...flooding, if you will. Perhaps you remember? It was a busy three-week stretch for us. SO, we had to put this on the backburner for a bit but...we're back!

For this episode, we're saying goodbye to the person behind the look and feel of Auburn's brand and printed communications -- Mr. Kevin McCoy! Kevin has been with the City of Auburn Communications Division since early 2023 and has had a hand in creating some of the city's most iconic brands and materials, like the Postmark Center for the Arts logo and the look and feel of the Auburn Magazine. His work can be seen throughout the city from hanging banners over Main Street, postcards in the mail, graphics on social media and websites, and so much more.

Oh also, we're happy to WELCOME BACK ANGEE! Angee has finally returned from her honeymoon and is back making all sorts of content on City of Auburn socials -- if you don't follow us, I recommend ameliorating that immediately because she's already going viral on Facebook and Instagram.

Well lads, we did it -- we got the big guy in red in the studio. It didn't take much, really, just a few well-placed milk and cookies sweet treats. We did have to make the breakdcrumb stretch from the north pole to Auburn, but as you can see and hear, it was all worth it. Santa joins us to talk about the OTHER City of Auburn Santa event on the horizon, Breakfast with Santa. He's joined by Parks Coordinator Ashley Gain who alongside Santa, makes sure all the kids and parents are well fed and leave happy and satisfied. While he was here, we couldn't help but ask him about the parade, which is this Saturday -- can't wait to see you along Main Street and City Hall Plaza.

Stick around for more Santa trivia. And breakfast. Cause why not?
