00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.079
the year that it can also be
expensive. Are you still paying for last

5
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.359

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.679

00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:37.679
lower rate. Find what you're looking

9
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:44.799
Go. Thank you for listening to
the John ed Heidi Show. Super excited

10
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.399
to chat with you on a free
Flag Friday and Heidie's actually in here.

11
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.880
You ready for a free flag Friday? Heidie absolutely all right. This is

12
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.719
a free three by five flag and
it is from our friends at Maximum Promotions

13
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.759
in Sioux Falls. You're located on
West Avenue right underneath the huge American flag.

14
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:04.760
And even if you don't win,
you can still stop in and you

15
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.920
can pick up your flags and flag
poles, all the stuff that you would

16
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.000
need to make this a really nice
time a year. As a gift,

17
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.000
It's a really cool thing to give
as a gift. So again, if

18
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.840
you are not the winner today,
you can still purchase a flag. But

19
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.040
I'm gonna tell you somebody is winning
a flag and that person is Aaron Sandford.

20
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.840
Congratulations Aaron, you are the winner
of a three x five flag.

21
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.560
Oh yeah, from our friends at
Maximum Promotions. And again I was just

22
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.560
in there the other day talking to
the folks at Maximum Promotions and they were

23
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.920
saying, this is a busy time
of year people buying flag poles as a

24
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.079
gift. I think that's a good
idea. If you've got a Patriot on

25
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.159
your list, you can go in
and get a flagpole to mount down their

26
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:47.200
house, or you can get one
that goes in the ground. They've got

27
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.040
the big telescopic flag poles as well, So again, awesome place to go

28
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.959
and in addition to that to do
all kinds of other stuff as well.

29
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.359
But Maximum Promotions on West Avenue under
the huge American flag in congrats to Aaron

30
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.719
Sandford. And if you did not
win today, but you would like to

31
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.560
win next Friday, all you gotta
do is sign up. You do your

32

Excited to visit with Walker and Andy
from Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort.

44
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.960
We're gonna start with Walker today because

45
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.199
house at Grand Falls. If people

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.080
squeeze in like a pair of tickets

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.520
yeah, we still have a couple

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.240

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.560
get tickets and our event center from

the whole family, so when you come

52
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:23.960
out, you can bring the kids
and have a really good time. And

53
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.960
again it's it's tonight. It's going
to happen before you know it. So

54
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.360
if you want tickets to that,
get them right away. And while we're

55
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.439
chatting with Walker, we're gonna kind
of skip over New Year's Eve because we're

56
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.759
going to swing back to that here
when we chat with Andy. But New

57
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.400
Year's Eve, you got Johnny Holme
Band. People can still get tickets for

58
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:44.599
that, right yes, Johnny Holme
Band. Twenty five dollars for a ticket

59
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.280
and you can just stop right in
right in front of the event center.

60
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.599
We'll have a couple of table set
up you can get your tickets there,

61
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.199
very very nice. And then we've
got a really fun show coming up in

62
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.840
January, Ever Clear and Corey and
the Fireflies. Let's chat about that.

63
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.560
Yeah, I'm excited. And Corey
has not played out here yet and so

64
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.719
they'll be opening Foreverclear, who has
also not played out here yet. So

65
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.319
it's going to be a great show. Nineties theme and we're excited to see

66
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.279
how this show goes. And the
nineties are back in a really big way

67
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.079
right now, so there's a ton
of people who there are even young people

68
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.959
who are discovering nineties music. They're
like, oh, hey, I found

69
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.519
this new band. I'm like that
new band was a band when I was

70
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.000
in school. But it's really cool
because this will be a chance for people

71
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.040
to come and see these bands live
in person, and they'll be able to

72
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.120
come out and party and have a
good time. Where do I go to

73
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.839
get tickets? And what is the
date? Once again? So the date

74
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:43.040
is January twenty seventh, and it
starts at seven pm, so it's an

75
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.079
hour earlier than typical, so keep
that in mind. Doors will be at

76
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.360
six pm. You can go out
to Grandfall's Casino Resort dot com to get

77
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.360
your tickets or stop into our gift
shop. Either one is perfectly fine,

78
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.439
very very nice. And we've got
a couple of other concerts that are scheduled

79
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.040
for next year. We've got a
few country shows, but Grand Funk Railroad

80
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.920
is another one. I'm so excited
to see them. And what is the

81
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.279
date? We've got Sawyer Brown on
Friday and Grandfunk Railroad on Saturday. But

82
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.600
what are the dates on those?
So Sawyer Brown will be Friday, February

83
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.839
twenty third, and Grand Funk will
be Saturday, February twenty fourth. What

84
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.399
a weekend, man, that would
be such a great weekend, even if

85
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.000
you live somewhere else to say,
hey, let's come camp out and make

86
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.879
a party weekend of this at Grand
Falls Casino and Golf Resort. I don't

87
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.199
know if you guys have any rooms
left, because boy, they book up

88
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.000
fast on a weekend like that.
Yeah we have, I mean we book

89
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:38.600
up incredibly fast, so I don't
even know if we have any rooms available.

90
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.199
Well, we're going to chat with
Andy right now. Walker, thank

91
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.879
you very much. I'll see you
tonight, all right, Yes, of

92
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.160
course, thank you so much.
And we've got Andy that's going to come

93
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.199
on the line because we're going to
talk about a couple of things that are

94
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.319
really cool that are happening on the
casino side of things. First of all,

95
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.560
if somebody would like to join their
text club today is the deadline,

96
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.000
right, Well, it's not the
deadline, but it's the deadline for our

97
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.879
latest contest. To kind of dovetail
into our New Year's Eve conversation from earlier,

98
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:10.800
we are giving away two tickets to
Johnny Home and dinner for two at

99
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.399
Robert's Buffet if you text falls to
our number two to one, seven seven

100
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.519
seven seven. Once again, that's
the word, fall to two to one

101
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:25.279
seven seven seven seven. And we
don't spam you. We don't do a

102
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.839
whole lot. We send maybe two
to three texts a month, and that

103
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.720
automatically enters you into this contest and
all future contests. So when I was

104
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.680
talking about the deadline, it's not
the deadline to join the Text Club,

105
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.279
it's the deadline for this particular promotion. So again I would love for people

106
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.399
to get get involved in that and
sign up for that program. It like

107
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.040
you said, they don't blast you
with messages every other day or you know,

108
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.759
I've been on some text programs where
you get something like every day and

109
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.600
I'm like, no, I don't
need that. But this is this is

110
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.720
spaced out very nicely, but it
also lets you know about all the important

111
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.879
things that are happening and makes you
qualified to win some cool prizes. So

112
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.360
in addition to the Text Club giving
you a chance to win some stuff for

113
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.560
New Year's Eve, if you've got
a huge party on New Year's Eve,

114
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.160
and we've got some holiday buffets,
we got a lot of cool stuff happening

115
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.399
out there this month doing Yeah,
no kidding, I mean, it depends

116
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.879
on where you want to start.
We could start kind of talking about the

117
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.839
buffet. We have Christmas Eve and
a Christmas Day buffet. On Christmas Eve,

118
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.519
we're doing both a brunch and dinner. Brunch starts at eleven, dinner

119
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.240
will start at three. On Christmas
Day, we have a kind of more

120
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.879
of a brunch type buffet that starts
at eleven am. And then on New

121
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.639
Year's Eve, we have a dinner
buffet that starts at four and runs until

122
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.720
ten. And on New Year's Day
it's more of a brunch again, it

123
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.199
starts at ten am. So,
and that's on top of our usual Friday

124
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.040
and Saturday buffets. But you know, since New Year's falls on a what

125
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.680
is it Ay? Sunday? Monday? This year, isn't it? Yes,

126
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.199
Sunday. I've been at the calendar
so much lately. Yeah, Sunday

127
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.680
is New Year's Eve and then Monday
is New Year's Day. Yep, yeah,

128
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.519
so we have a couple. We
do have an extra Monday day.

129
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.240
We have an extra Monday with a
buffet this year. So people always seem

130
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.959
to enjoy coming out for Roberts and
they always want to know when the buffet

131
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.959
is opened, So now you know. And so then for New Year's Eve,

132
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.279
as you kind of mentioned, John, we have a lot going on.

133
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.120
As always, it's sort of our
biggest time of the year here at

134
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.279
the casino. We are theme this
year is the nineteen twenties. We're calling

135
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.440
it Roar into twenty four, that
Grand Falls is the place to be when

136
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.759
you say goodbye to twenty twenty three. And our big promotion is what we're

137
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.559
calling the Bake Break the bank drawing. We are giving away on New Year's

138
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.840
Eve starting at nine pm, every
half hour we're giving away one thousand dollars,

139
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.759
and then at one am, we're
giving away ten thousand dollars. And

140
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.159
then, as they like to say, we're running it all back on New

141
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:05.200
Year's Days, starting at one pm
to four thirty we are giving away one

142
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.559
thousand dollars again every half hour with
the grand prize at five pm being another

143
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.279
ten thousand dollars. That's a lot
of reasons to come to Grand Falls Casino

144
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.879
on New Year's weekend. That is
a that's amazing, Yep, it is.

145
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.039
It is a lot of reasons.
And for all of you New Year's

146
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.840
revelers, we do have party favors
and the champagne toast at midnight, So

147
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.559

midnight, we do have a little something

148
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.799
for you. Well. I appreciate
you taking the time to chat with us.

149
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.200
Again, it sounds like a whole
lot of fun. If people would

150

00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.600
in American history, doctor Lauren Edmundson. He was born in Sue Falls,

00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.120
but grew up in Colton before attending
the University of South Dakota and in the

172
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.759
University of Wisconsin to become a doctor. He started his medical career at the

173
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.240
Peabody Clinic in Webster, South Dakota, but soon moved to Soux Falls,

174
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.399
where he was hired at the Donahoe
Clinic and took care of athletes at the

175
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.600
