It isn't everyday one gets to be interviewed for the local news, so it was with much excitement this morning when
WBIR News 10's van came to
Our Southern Home and Garden. Emily Stroud and cameraman Jim Martin were here to interview Mike for a segment on
WBIR's Live at Five at Four Show. My husband creates cabins from matchsticks and has recreated most of the cabins, churches and buildings around the loop in Cades Cove. For Mike and I the anticipation was that of a child on Christmas Eve awaiting a visit from St. Nick.
Mike, who is very shy , was immediately put to ease by Emily and in no time he was telling her about his matchstick hobby and the reason for her visit , his Cades Cove Matchstick cabins.
Next came questions and pictures regarding the process. "How long does it take? What materials do you use? What do you plan on doing with the cabins?"
One by one each matchstick building was recorded onto film, with Stroud and Miller down on their knees filming inside the schoolhouse to capture the tiny desks and blackboard hidden inside. The interview concluded with Stroud in front of one of the buildings filming the 'tease' for the upcoming show.
on Tuesday August 19th. For Emily and Jim it was just another day on the job, but for us
, it was a memorable day. Thank you Emily and Jim.
