OKAM and the kids programs are starting soon. Oh it is very soon,
just less than forty days away. Wow. We that's amazing. I know
it's kind of scary, but I'm ready. So we're gonna begin with Friday.
It's the second of June. Our festival runs from June the second through
the eighth, and then we blend right into the main festival and opening night.
But first on the second, we're gonna have son. We're going to
meet all at at SunFest and our performance is at six and it's with um
Michael Loman and he is the talk Tom Native American and he is going to
do dance wow and hoops. It's a it's a thing that they use,

us how to use them. We're gonna have them, so we want the
kids dot com. This is gonna be fun. Yes, And of course
SunFest Friday and Sunday always great. Sunday it might rain, but Friday is
always good. We've had rain before, you know out at the SunFest.
Well, we're going to have a great time out there because that's always beautiful.
And it's going to be at the bandshell. Okay. So so when
they come, they can go either to our booth or they can already have
pre registered. I would hope that they would pre register, and we'll talk
about that a little bit here. Let's do that. And then on the
word is um the tea, Princess Tea, Prince and Princess Tea. And
our main theme today is going to be for that date is Mary Poppins.
So you know it's a Disney thing and all the things happen and we have
lots of good things. That is the only event that will cost through the
whole whole six days. Dan. On Sunday, we're going to go to
the paint shop, the Boots and Brushes paint shop, and we're going to
paint using music. Oh nice, and a book and lots of color from
the palette. This is going to be for all the senses, and we're
going to use the the Noisy Paint Box. It is a book that is
written by a an artist, so that'll be exciting for the kids. Oh
wonderful. They also have to do for is just come. That's it,
that's it, that's it. And um we're going to do a session at
one and also at three. Oh wow. Nice. So some of the
older kids can come if they would like, at the three o'clock one and
the younger at the one o'clock and then that evening is Boogie being Go and
it'll all have to do with the Disney themes again once again, once again.
And then on Monday we're going to go to the library. Miss Laura,
who is the librarian for the children and I are going to do It's
a book and it's never playing music and right next to the zoo. You
know. I think all kinds of things are going to happen that day.
That's at ten, then at one we're gonna go. At most this goes
to a concert, okay, and Moses is a deaf child show all of
those that are and have that kind of challenge. Challenges, Yes, through
life can come, oh wonderful. And we have a new little thing.
I was reading up on it and you they can hear music and vibrations through
a balloon and also through their feet. Show when it's done on YouTube,
and we have and then we're going to have somebody real playing the instruments too,
a little challenge. I first learned that in college with a friend of
mine who was very part of hearing almost death. He said, I could
feel at my feet. Oh yeah, really, they just take off their
shoes and they did. It was just fine, okay. And then um,
later in the day, then at one o'clock I said that one we're
going to go. But then um, at three, we're gonna do eighty
eight instruments. Now that is a lot of book of instruments, but if
you look at a orchestra, there are lots of instruments in that orchestra.
So that will be and the library I can have at least one hundred and
fifty children, and we have filled that at one time. I bet you
have. Then we're on Tuesday. We're going to come back on the sixth
and we're going to go to Ambler Hall and we're going to have story and
music and instruments. Wow, I'm gonna do um. That one's going to
be Meet the Book. The Book will be Meet the Orchestra, and then
um at one we're going to do the Bear, the piano, the dog
and the fiddle. Oh. That is something. It has all kinds of
action and it's kind of like an action book where we have music and instruments,
just an education for them. Then in the evening we're going to go
to Harvesty Regional Library in Connor's Cove. That is a huge library and they
have a like a theater in there, and I'm going to do a puppet
show okay from Stone Lion. And then we're on Wednesday, we're going to
come back to Father Lynch Hall and we're gonna do two sessions, two different
puppet shows, one at ten and one at one for Father Lynch. And
on Thursday it is karaoke in the Community Center at and on stage in the
main stage, so parents, bring your children, don't forget to register and
come and watch our children play and dads sing. And then in the evening
Jim Green is going to come into imagine show for us. Nice for the
opening night of our main festival and the end of the children. Wow,
this is a jam packed schedule. Rose, I don't know how you pull
it off every year. Well, I'll tell you. I have lots of
good help. I'm going to have some of the interns that we'll be coming
and joining us again this year, and then myself and Mary Lynn and John
are going to help with the tea good and so I think it'll just be
fun fun. Oh, I think it will be too. Now, how
did mom and dad find out about this? Where can they go? Where
they can go to? Um, we're going to do something different, going
to have our tickets at the BCC okay, and then they can register and
register their children underneath the free it's free, so they can register them because
an RSVP is really good for me. That's how I'm going to track.
And they can also come to the office or they can go to okay and
music dot org Okay and it'll be on there and hopefully sometime this week,
so parents, please watch, it'll be there. It'll be up and running,
ready to go. Now, there's only one that we have a cost,
and that's the tea. And there's a reason for that. That's only
one that has a charge. It is because we want them to dress come
and have a good time. And I have a Disney theme of Mary Poppins,
and you know we always did kind of like games and fun things,
and they have tea and and all kinds of little sandwiches and desserts and it'll
all be in that theme, all included in that all included. Wow,
that's nice. And it's not going to break the bank either, no,
I hope not. No. Fifteen dollars that'll be. That'll be a day
well spent for these youngsters. It will. It takes about two hours.
And Laura Lae from she's a harpist and she is coming back and playing the
Harvest and with the same tunes and things from Mary Poppins. How nice is
that. So one of the surprises that you might see will be two people
that address, one as Vert and one as Mary Poppins. So they're going
to be joining us too that day. Oh my goodness sakes, this is
gonna be fun. And this is the way we do it with the children's
programs. It's called especially for kids through O KAM And again we'll have a
little story on this on our website Bartlesloe Radio dot com and a little bit.
And we'll also correct people to the website and also to the BCC so
they can sign up for the Difference years and they can come into the office
too. That's the one with the buffalo with all the music notes on it
right out front. You can't miss that one. Oh well, you can
miss it right now because the wind kind of took care of our little buffalo.
Oh really, it wasn't aware of that. Yeah. He's getting fixed
though, and we're hoping that he'll be done before too long. That was
a very windy night and he ended up across the street with lots of little
wounds. Oh well, well, we can get the buffalo doctor out there
now. Now you've been with OKAM for a while, I have, and
this has been a labor of love for you. It has. It is
I love the kids, my profession. I worked in the medical field for
forty two years, so this is like my out This is where you have
fun. It is is all these times, all this time, and before
you know, it's like when I sit down and I think about planning it
while then I like, um, drop things down. Then my head kind
of goes in a spin and then I think, oh, I don't know
if that'll work. But then, you know, technology is wonderful. I
don't know how to use it very well when it works, but I get
online and I look at the books and then I kind of go from there.
Wow, because you can YouTube them. Yeah, that seems a lot
of time. It does. It does. And then you know, we
ordered them in and we go through them, and if we don't like them,
we like change. I might change, but pretty much. And sometimes
when you know, adults come and they go, oh, you know,
I kind of like this one better than this one. You know, they
would make a comment. So my little ring gets back to work. I
see, well once again. It starts on Friday, June second at SunFest
and then we go from there. But for the full schedule, we will
have that posted and we'll make sure everybody knows what's going on and when,
where and how, and we'll give everybody all the directions and help we can
to make sure that we have as many kids as we can possibly serve.
Okay, I'm going to hopefully too within the next week or so, you
know, because school goes out, Yeah, it does. There'll be a
flyer at many places in town. That especially the schools. I hit the
