Good morning, good morning, good morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome me
this time now for our community connection right here on K one the one you
trust. And of course our community connection is being brought to you by Arnold
Moore and Knee Camp Funeral Home, also Tall Grass Motors and get Real Ministries.
We got something really special here for you because I got to go see
this last year and I just loved it. It is Dewey Herrity Jays.
We have but John Dixon on with us. Hey you doing this, sir,
great, great, good to be here. It's good to be in
a beautiful day today, you know. And I understand we're gonna have beautiful
weather for the big event. Yes, yes, I hope it. I
hope we're gonna have It's gonna be fall weather, just perfect. The great
days October the fourteenth, don't forget about it opens at noon. All kinds
of games for the kids start at noon five o'clock. We'll start the parade.
From the parade, we'll go straight down to the fairgrounds and have a
wild West show. We'll have John Payne, the One Armed Bandit, Sophie
Duke trick ride, have a rodeo clown and several events there. We're gonna
have that. You know, those long horns. That's impressive. The long
horns will be in the parade and then immediately after the wild West Show starts
at six thirty, Letter Ride will start playing the band at nine o'clock.
Oh wow, that's great. They're always great. I always tell people my
shriff can out sing their sheriff, and it's true. They don't even put
up a fight. They said, now I've heard your shriff. It's good.
So this is gonna be a lot of fun. Now he's been doing
this for well over ten years. Yeah, I we're probably going on twelve.
Yeah. Probably. This has always been fun. It keeps getting a
little bit bigger. The crowds get bigger. Yeah, crowds get bigger and
bigger. And we kind of used to have it September and it was so
hot and had it right on top of the deals. This weekend at will
A Rock the Cow, Thee's Outlaws deal, we moved it back, try
to get it off of things, and I think it's just gonna get bigger
and bigger. I think it is too. The weather is gonna really have
the crowd going and staying longer too. Staying on Like I said, yeah,
I'm doing to nine o'clock, if you you know, I mean,
it gonna be all kinds of things for all kinds of food vendors there,
uh start at noon, and all kinds of games and then just right on
in all from noon till midnight. I guess you might say it's gonna be
a lot of fun. And we want folks to know that it doesn't cost
anything to walk in. Now I'll not to walk in now be at events.
At six thirty it's ten dollars for adults, and then I believe it's
five dollars for twelve and under. And that's to see the Wild West Show,
go to dance there there you go. Now that that that'll cost you
a little bit of the ten bucks eight bucks these days, But as far
as walking around and seeing the vendors and meeting up with everybody, listening to
the you're gonna have a Cowboy Poets again, the Cowboy Poets, and you
know, all kids can come all that stuff free during the day, free
to get to watch the longhorns and all that. And the only time you
got to pay is at six thirty at night. At there you go and
it's great family fun. Now you get a little bit of history too.
Yep, go his way back. You know, you had some roping characters
last year he had a fellow who did Richard Henrick will be the trick roper
again. We had Rooster Cogber in our lives. That's the one boy.
I want to tell you. It looked like he just walked right off the
movie. He said, oh yeah, he got to everything. Dislike it.
It sounds just like him too. Talks to us like as like,
oh buddy, I mean that was that was spot on. That was oppressive.
And as trick rider we got this year. She's just sixteen years old.
She roman rides, trick rides, fancy gun tricks and from Stillwell,
Oklahoma. And we're really glad she's coming. Anxious to see her. Of
course, John Payne, everybody loves him. Oh he's on paying one arm
bandit. He will be there, you know that guy. I'd like to
know how he gets that horse up there on that A lot of time I
think, oh yeah, you know, and the horse that doesn't seem to
mind too much being up that high on the on the float. But Mike,
goodness, six that's a lot of doing for anybody. Wow, folks,
you got to come out and see if that parade is just something you
can't describe. I mean I tried to do a little videotaping of it last
year, but I said, just the Longhorn part out I do some friends
of mine out in California. You're like, wow, I said, yeah,
I said these things on the street this week. I'm not for sure,
but Carlotta told me I think we got oh somewhere around twenty twenty plus
entries in the parade this year. That's good. That's really good. And
we have a kid's costume contest before the parade. That's right, what is
it? Twelve and under can dress up kind of anything and they go up
there and do their little Stanton and they get a prize for it. And
it's got pretty popular. Last year it was quite a contest, Yeah,
it was. I remember it took a little while to get that judge and
done because it was really really good. I think there was a young man
on a horse. Yeah, then rick Yelcolm's grandson. Yeah, and quite
impressive. He was he was living the part, yes he was. He
got a very good job at it. Oh man. So this is family
funny. It's the fourteenth of October, so it's coming up here pretty soon,
and I just wants you folks to put that on your calendar right now
and make sure that you come on out and just have a great time.
Like you said, it starts at noon. And if we got the parade
coming up and then the dance afterwards, yeah, there we go. I'll
get it together here in a second. But this is this is really what
it's all about. It's coming back home to your hometown, and it's getting
back to our Oklahoma roots in grand fashion, I might say, because that
parade comes right around the Tom Mix Museum and swoops right in front of the
hotel, so you get a little history lesson right there on the big curve.
And there's an old well where Tony the trick Horse used to drink out
of. So it puts it all together. I mean, like I said,
it's just a lot of fun. You guys who came up with this
idea, just a bunch of folks. Oh yeah, this people ten twelve
years ago got to talk about wanting to bring the Western Harry's back to day
by Goddy you did, and lookland's happened. I tell you that that's a
lot of people. You get as many people there as you will for just
about anything else that happens, and do it. I mean it's kind of
nip and tuck who gets the crowd, whether it's the Christmas or the Western
Heritage Days, it's it's pretty packed. It about six boxes this people armed
armed and three or four deep on the sidewalk. And there are and of
course we'll have vendors, you know, and plays hammers, and there'll be
people selling you know, ornaments and this Western jewelry and stuff like that.
Oh yeah, that's gonna be all over town, that part, isn't it.
Yeah? Oh man, so we got him. I'll not only lined
up on the street and in the park, but all over the place.
So make sure you get there early. They scat everything out. Yep,
yep, oh man, this is really good. Hey, John, don't
want to thank you for being here with this thing. Else we need to
know. Oh, I think that's pretty much sy it. Just have a
good time, ye have a good time. Be sure everybody come out and
bring your kids. Already. Western Heritage Days October fourteenth in Dewey, America,
