Rebecca. How you doing, ladies? Well good, I'm glad you didn't

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:24.239
say fair, because this is really
Hannah. We got a new name for

6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:29.239

Um, this year we are celebrating one

7
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.719
hundred and nine years of Red,
White and you is our theme at the

8
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.079
fair. Well, Rebecca, I
understand you kind of came up with that.

9
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.880
Now we got all kinds of things
going on here Free Four to the

10
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:50.399
dates. The dates are. The
indoor entries are going to be due um

11
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.640
September fifth, so that's when you
bring all your items that you want to

12
00:00:53.759 --> 00:01:00.439
enter inside. The livestock will be
entered on the sixth, September six that's

13
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.840
a Wednesday, and then the fair
is going to be open to the public

14
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.519
September seventh through the night. So
that's Thursday through Saturday. Oh wow,

15
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.480
this is great, this is great. I understand that Saturday only we've got

16
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.200
like a vendor show. What's that
all about we do. That's kind of

17
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.319
a new thing. Typically, in
the past, we would allow vendors to

18
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.079
set up in the South Room for
the whole duration of the fair. This

19
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.439
year we changed it up a little
bit. We will still have some of

20
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:30.120
those nonprofit organizations in the South Room
for the whole duration of the fair,

21
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.560
but on Saturday only, we're going
to do like a craft and vendor fair

22
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:41.000
and it's going to be in the
North Room. There's only about fifteen slots

23
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:48.000
available. I think we've got thirteen
confirmed, So the slots are limited.

24
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:55.079
So if you are a local vendor
or business and you want to come display

25
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.439
your items on a Saturday only at
the fair, get with us and we

26
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.400
would love to have you. But
there's only a couple of slots left now.

27
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.560

things going on now. One thing

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.240

different this year. Yes, it's
a little bit about it. This is

45
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.280
really fun. A little micro scaled
tractor pool. It's called a pedal pool,

46
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:29.159
and it's for our youngest community members
if they're small enough enough to like

55
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.639
on the lawn this year. We've
got a popcorn vendor, a lemonade vendor,

56
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.560
so lots of good snacks and a
good family movie. We haven't decided

57
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:16.759
what movie yet, but Charlotte's Webb
is up there. Yes, charlotte Webb

58
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.920

that one's up there. So we haven't

59
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:24.879
decided which one yet, but we're
really components, that's for sure. Yeah.

60
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.920
It will be displayed on the outs

lawn chair or a blanket to sit on

62
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.000
and enjoy the movie. We're gonna
have the hot dog eating contest again.

63
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.360
Yes, we're gonna do that on
Friday. There will be a timer this

64
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:46.240
time, though. I kind of
ran out of battery on my camera because

65
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.399
it became a showdown towards the end
there, and I'm glad, kind of

66
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:55.000
glad at one point that the battery
did die. But my goodness, actually

67
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.720
had some great competitors there, and
it came down to this fellow who looks

68
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.759
like a bench press's track, probably
with fetty nuts, with his very teeny

69
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.040
tiny, little fair princess, and
I'm taking boy, you want one of

70
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.720
the odds of this being the last
two standing. And it was really it

71
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.319
was a lot of a lot of
people loved it. She almost had almost

72
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.720
It was just inches from a clean
getaway. Yeah, from what I understand,

73
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.480
she's had a whole year of not
eating any hot dogs, so yeah,

74
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:32.360
she's revenge. She'll wear a crown
this year, going I got my

75
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.879
eyes on you, mister hot dog
eater. Oh wow, this is really

76
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:42.000
good. So you know, last
year we we started off with the theme.

77
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.120
This year we got another theme,
and this looks like it's gonna build

78
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.040
from here on out. Now with
the book that comes out to you're telling

79
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.920
me that there's going to be a
section that changes every year. Yes.

80
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.680
So if if you've ever noticed,
the fair books are broken down by department,

81
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.680
so that each each department there for
each has a department. In fa

82
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.519
has a department, in needlework has
a department, so that's photography and so

83
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.959
on and so forth. So there's
going to be a new department department eleven

84
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.120
and each year it will change depending
on the theme of the fair. So

85
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:21.040
since this year's fair theme has red
white and you our department classes. Our

86
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:29.639
classes in that department are like a
patriotic Point for youth and adult patriotic barn

87
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:36.920
quilt. There's open textile and open
patriotic photography. So those classes are are

88
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.959
going to stay each year, but
they will change depending on the theme of

89
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.720
the fair. That this is really
so cool. I mean it used to

90
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.800
be the Free Fairer with the Free
Fairer with the Free Fairer, and not

91
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.959
a whole lot changed from year to
year. But now I mean we get

92
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.079
a new look every year. Hannah, Yep, we're excited about that.

93
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.680
I can tell you. Guys came
in beaming like god set. We're excited

94
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.800
to get to share those this morning. We're going to take a quick break

95
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.439
and then we're going to come back
and talk a little bit more about the

96
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.079
Washington County Free Fair. Right here

110
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.680
We'll walk through this together. Is
it time to start thinking about a

111
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.120
new car? But the thought of
dealing with the large dealerships is just too

112
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.519
intimidating, too confusing. There is
an easier way, tall Grass Motors.

113
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.000
Tall Grass Motors doesn't play all the
confusing games the large dealerships play. Tall

114
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.120
Grass Motors has continually been voted Bartlesville's
best used car dealer year after year.

115
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.600
Go by tall Grass Motors today and
enjoy looking at over sixty used cars,

116
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.600

117
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.080
Highway seventy five North in Bartlesville,
And welcome back. And we're talking to

118
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.000
our friends from the Freefair, Rebecca
and Hannah. Hannah understand we've got bugs

119
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.360
coming to the Freefair. Yes we
do, returning. It should say yes

120
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:54.919
bugs returning. So Oklahoma State University, within their entomology department, they have

121
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:05.720
a little youth enrichment school enrichment program
called the Insect Adventure. So they have

122
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:11.600
a ton of different insects, buds, arthur pods, any kind of creepy

123
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.679
crawley that you could think of.
They probably have one and they bring all

124
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.559
of those to the fair, they
display them, they do a lot of

125
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.519
educational components to it, teaching the
kids about the different kinds of bugs and

126
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.519
what might be unique to that bug. So we're gonna have that on Thursday

127
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.519
from nine to three in the South
Room. They're going to come back great.

128
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.440
That's a lot of fun and we've
got all kinds of exhibits and once

129
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.559
again for the folks who have not
gone to the Washington County Free Fair,

130
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:46.519
the admission is yep, free nine
nine. This is great. So what

131
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.919
are the dates again, Rebecca?
Okay, So our indoor entries are due

132
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.559

Tuesday. The sixth is when the livestock

133
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.519
entries will be due. That's on
a Wednesday. And then the public is

134
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:07.080
welcome to come Wednesday evening for our
kickoff and that starts at seven, and

135
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.039
then the fair exhibits will be open
for their public viewing on the seventh,

136
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.200
eighth, and ninth. That's open
to everyone, and we encourage everyone to

137
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.159
come. There's there's something for everyone
to see an experience, and all the

138
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.440
activities that are going to be there
are free. Now, well, you

139
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.200
know something we're talking about it being
the one hundred ninth anniversary and everything.

140
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.159
One thing that is almost synonymous with
the Free Fair is that the we have

141
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.360
the Washington County cattle women doing their
thing. That's yes, yes, that

142
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.279
is always a highlight of the Free
Fair is when our cattle women come and

143
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:48.200
bring their amazing pies and baskets that
they work so hard putting together, and

144
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.840
that is one of their It might
be their biggest fundraiser of the year.

145
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.519
But that's going to be Thursday evening
and that starts at six. So when

146
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.759
the copan Aggies are serving up their
chicken fried steak, the cattle women will

147
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.679
be auctioning off their pies and baskets
wonderful dessert huh yeah. Bus there's a

148
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.399
lot of goodies that come along with
the good he called the pie. Yeah,

149
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.159
not just pie alone. So my
goodness thinks this is gonna be a

150
