The Texas Department of Agriculture's Rural Texas internship Program began in Levelland this week. 
Brittany Dennis, a senior at Sam Houston State University, began her internship with the Levelland EDC this week.
On her first day, she was able to attend a presentation on recycling at Cactus Elementary, a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Levelland Recycling Center, a Hockley County Commissioner's meeting, a Levelland EDC board meeting, a Rotary scholarship committee meeting, the FFA banquet at Levelland High School, and a city council meeting in which Hugh Bradley the longest running mayor in Levelland history stepped down after 10 years of service.
To say that her first day was busy would be and understatement. Brittany's blog "Live from Levelland" will chronical her stay in Levelland. She will be staying with three different families while in Levelland so she can get a diverse look at life in Levelland.
So if you see her out taking pictures or at events taking video please be sure to smile, say hi and give her a warm welcome to West Texas.
