Thinking Through The Greeley Stampede

I got this email from Doyle Murphy: "I've pitched a project idea, and I hoping Gangrey readers can offer some advice. We have a giant rodeo called the Greeley Stampede that lasts for two weeks.

It has concerts, a carnival, and a host of other events. Every year the paper does the same stories, so after sitting through a meeting about this year's reruns I decided to pitch a series modeled after Brady Dennis's "300 Words".

I'm going to be feature hunting with a photographer at the Stampede every day. I have a couple ideas but no set stories. The pitch was today. The series starts Tuesday. I'd love to hear ideas about how to make this work well. Can Gangrey help?"

Anyone?
