This turned out to be an interesting example of how Elizabeth and Victoria Cate team up on communication. Victoria Cate was monitoring Elizabeth’s Twitter account, and alerted her mom to the tweets. Elizabeth says the point to communicate is that she is flipping pancakes, not watching calf roping or any of the events which would distress an animal, that Calgary Stampede has community events which are distinct from the sporting events. Those posting to Twitter were not making a distinction between the two.

Victoria Cate was able to respond to the concerned “Twitter followers” within 15 minutes of their first tweet of concern.

A tech savvy daughter. Who knew?
