00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.799
Welcome, welcome, walk come,
it's time for round two of our community

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:09.519
connection right here on K one,
the one you dressed him from Dewey.

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.679
It's just Lorie. How you doing
great? Laurie Heron is here with us,

4
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.800
and Dewey is the happening place,
Dewey, America, ladies and gentlemen.

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.559
I was told that that it's now
just one syllable, yes, sir,

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.199
and some and some some circles it
is. So what's going on these

7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.399
days? Well? How was your
fourth? It was really good. It

8
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.399
was better than the fifth, better
than the third, and much better than

9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.159
the third. Well, our fourth
was pretty cool, it was I was

10
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.640
a part of it. You were
on the bear. Well, well,

11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.759
I was doing the radio and sheriff
asked me. He says, if you

12
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.759
want to sing, just let us
know. And then I got a phone

13
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.039
call said I had to go some
pay tails, but otherwise I was gonna.

14
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.840
I was all ready to go.
I was very honored that day,

15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.439
and mister Melton to ask that is
there and I would have been upset.

16
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.880
I didn't hear your voice because I
was running around. Yeah, I didn't

17
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.120
have for that. That was my
first experience, and amazingly cute. They

18
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.200
started off with the hydrant, letting
the water go down, and gravity took

19
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:12.599
its course and they made the small
little rapids for the ducks and right on

20
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.040
through sailed on. The first place
took it was probably about oh, I

21
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.439
don't know this far apart, but
it was. It was absolutely cool.

22
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.560
The community came together even in that
heat and stayed. The watermelon was cool.

23
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.480
It was I have to admit I
did try it. Yeah, I'm

24
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.560
not a watermelon girl, but I
was that night and it was It was

25
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.599
refreshing and it was just it was
just neat to see community come together,

26
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.439
even in that heat, not late
at night, so but it was worth

27
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.239
it. Got flotilla of faux foul
going down. Hooked, I'm hooked.

28
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.760
I filmed everybody walking down the river
watching their ducks, so it was quite

29
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.159
a sight. It was quite a
sight. And then after that you have

30
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.920
the fireworks and everybody you know walked
away just thinking, wow, dude,

31
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.280
is a cool place. The DCA
definitely put on a good show this year,

32
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.799
for sure. So it's just gonna
get better and better every year,

33
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.040
just you know, from COVID and
then no water, so let us bring

34
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.400
it back. Let's get the get
the ducks back. Oh it was really

35
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:08.919
cool. I saw the friends of
Dewey Park. They had their little ten

36
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.759
out. We were and there do
you guys do any bricking? I did.

37
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.800
I was the one that was sent
amongst the piers. Did some politicken,

38
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.159
did seal some bricks, got some
new businesses that might be coming into

39
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:29.199
town, even them interested. So
just doing what I do. So we

40
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.039
have boots and badges. That's the
first thing that's tomorrow. What's boots and

41
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:37.319
boots and badges is celebrating the life
well the life saving responders that we have

42
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.599
the blood drive boots and badges.
Anyways, there's a trophy to get at

43
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.080
the end. But the best part
is if you can come out donate blood

44
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.360
UH supports community support this first responders. But then also that you get a

45
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.280
free t shirt of course, gots
swag and you also get two free tickets

46
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:59.319
to either Frontier City or six Flags
excuse me, six Flags Hurricane Harbor podcast.

47
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.000
That's a oh god, that'd be
great. But it is at the

48
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.520
Dewey Public Schools Student Center right there

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.439
I mean when when we're donating blood? Oh individual does I think?

54
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.639
So? Is that what they?
I don't. I don't remember that part,

55
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.280
but I'm I can't tell you who
I'm voting for. Okay, gotcha?

56
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.960
All right? Well, next up
we have so the second Saturday.

57
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.120
Would we are still holding somewhat of
a Second Saturday, There'll just be no

58
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:46.479
events outside because it's the swelter completely, So everybody will have still sales that

59
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.319
are participating in it. They'll still
be sells inside their stores. One cool

60
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.319
thing is that Randy is opening her
one side of the Simple Simons, her

61
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:59.159
restaurant for some vendors to go on
her that side. Nice, So there'll

62
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.719
be some inside that if you want
to check out Simple Signmons. I think

63
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.800
starting around ten same time. But
like, everybody still have their own sales,

64
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.840
just nothing outside to to go through
that hot sponge, yeah, Caul

65
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:15.599
humidity and then right, well then
after that you already talked about the Friends

66
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.800
of Dewey Parks. We have cementa
has been poured and our yesterday morning at

67
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:25.240
six am for the bathrooms, mister
Trees was out there taking the boards down,

68
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.279
checking out what's going on. Has
a lot of a lot of to

69
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:33.079
do with the Dowey Public Works,
mister Trees do. Putting that bathroom together

70
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.959
pretty cool. I'm thinking about all
of the cool things that I've never seen.

71
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.519
Concrete people poured, so I paid
attention to ask questions and it was

72
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.720
pretty cool. Of course took pictures, I will tell you that much.

73
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.759
But it's pretty cool to see what
all facets that the public works can do,

74
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.920
you know, especially I mean now
they're doing a bathroom and so uh

75
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.279
so that's pretty cool. They also
have their website finally, so we have

76
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:01.000
Friends of Dewey Parks dot org and
that where you can now go to find

77
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.920
all of what's going on, how
you can donate, what about the brigs,

78
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.399
how you can buy a brick,
and also far follow through what's going

79
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.439
on in the happenings of our park, like the pictures of the bathroom.

80
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.160
Yeah, I got to tell you, don Tyler Park is about one of

81
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:19.360
the cleanest because John Tyler looked amazing. Public works, public works, and

82
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.000
you know, the playground equipment was
nice. Plenty of rooms spread out so

83
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.279
that you don't have to be on
top of each other if your picnic and

84
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.279
they're just enjoying the outdoors. You
got a lot of a lot of space,

85
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.040
a lot of rooms. And so
imagine what's going to happen in the

86
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.680
Lions Park downtown. Yeah, we're
gonna have it's gonna be amazing. You

87
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.399
know something. That park is a
dandy as it is, but with these

88
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.079
new improvements coming up, it's going
to be a mussy. And it's one

89
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.399
of those things where folks kind of
they go, oh, I didn't know

90
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.319
there was a park, fact there
behind the behind the downtown facades, and

91
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.079
then it's like it's a darn nice
little park. So get these second saturdays

92
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.360
going, yeah, and familiarize yourself
with it. And then and so that

93
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.160
we can have downtown more things can
be focused and everybody, you know,

94
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:03.920
take a break, a little hub
to eat, you know, because we

95
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.399
have food truck pads, and you
know it'll be it'll be awesome, lovely

96
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.920
green space and a lovely small town
exactly. I mean, that's America.

97
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.120
Exactly, and it's next to the
library. It Ismoral Library. What they

98
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.839
have going on will be the soonest
would be the Rummage sell, which is

99
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:25.240
August eighth through the tenth. Miss
Jordan the library and ask that you please

100
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.680
give them a call before you donate, just or drop off, just so

101
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.720
that she can guide either where these
pieces go or not. But other than

102
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:36.560
that, that's duey sir. That
is man. I gotta tell you an

103
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.120
awkward nutshell. Well, I got
to tell you it's a beautiful town.

104
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.120
I always have fun up there.
We had a blast on the fourth of

105
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.639
July. I always have a fun
when it gets around the Christmas holidays too,

106
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.680
but always in between there are different
opportunities for you to take in the

107
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.680
sites. We have a couple of
historic places where folks could go visit and

108
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.279
when you get done, do a
little light shopping do it, do a

109
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.759
little heavy eating and heavy shopping there
you go either way? What am I

110
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.040
talking about? Either way? And
then we'll just have more places for everybody

111
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.560
to enjoy. Oh indeed, and
it's laid out nicely. I mean you

112
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.519
can't get lost. I mean you
have to try pretty hard to get lost,

113
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.920
and you do. Is just Cross
seventy five to keep it going because

114
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.319
we have everything at the other end. Yeah, you do, you do,

115
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.040
you know, you have to some
relatively new businesses. You got that

116
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:28.720
new pharmacy that yes, creative health. Yeah health, and it's it's it's

117
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.439
it's definitely. She's done some improvements
inside from when I was a little girl

118
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.279
going in there, so it looks
pretty cool from just you know, bringing

119
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.639
it up to date and modernized,
especially no as medicine it goes. But

120
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.480
Ashley's doing a great job over there. We have some craft people, people

121
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.240
who do some handy, really cool
woodwork, and it's up there in Dewey.

122
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.120
We have all kinds of antiquers.
What is it an antique proprietor or

123
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:57.360
there's a special name for antique f
folks not old because of not old.

124
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:07.720
These are young people who deal with
antiques. They I mean sell a lot

125
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.639
every week. And linger Longer is
one of the it's just one of the

126
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.439
most one that I go to first
just because it has the ice cream.

127
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.759
But I I literally went there two
days, three days after my son was

128
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.439
born and brought my mom who's from
Vegas, and that's where she wanted to

129
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.519
go and That's that's where they wanted
to go there and again talk about summers

130
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.759
and Christmases here. That was just
where I hung out linger longer, all

131
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.919
the antique stores, Tom Mixed Museum, the Dewey Hotel. So I can't

132
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.200
wait for the park. This park
is really going to be the icing on

133
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.919
the cake. It really is.
Now. If folks want to find out

134
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.240
what's going on in the city of
do you have the city websites. It's

135
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.600
very very functioned, very easy to
fallow. Yes, but in the city.

136
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.360
Facebook probably has a little bit more
and more more up to date stuff.

137
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.480
But there's a calendar on the website
that they keep abreast of all the

138
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.759
new stuff too. All right,
if you want to find out what's going

139
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.600
on in Doy, just go to
the Facebook page. Also go to their

140
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:11.000
website, or just say hey,
Laurie, what's happening. She'll tell you

141
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.279
call up city hall and you can
get a hold of me. There you

142
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.679
go, Hey, thanks for being
with us today. It's always a pleasure.
