WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:07.919 Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome welcome walk commuting this 2 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.000 time now for our community connection right here on Gate one, the one he 3 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.880 trusted. It doesn't get any more community than our local Chamber of Commerce and 4 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.760 we have surey wilt with the greater Warsville Chamber of Commerce. How you doing, 5 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.160 young lady, doing good? You know? Nice and warm for yeah, 6 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.160 finally it could stay this way all month, so nice coming out the 7 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.719 deep freeze. Yeah, that's well I needed because we needed an ice rink 8 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.200 to melt. Finally. Finally, speaking of Christmas in the bill, I 9 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.159 understand we have some happy totals. We do. We've got some really great 10 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.560 encouraging statistics which support the reason why we did this festival to begin with seven 11 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.439 years ago. We were actually opened December first through January second for one hundred 12 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:57.479 and fifty five public skate hours and it brought over twenty one thousand people downtown 13 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.600 twenty one. That's just an a month of December. I mean, we 14 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.159 had a couple months in January, but in December there were over It was 15 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.560 actually twenty one thy eight hundred. Maria has that little tracking device magic, 16 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.719 you know, can sheat sheets? We drew it around Geofence whatever it's called, 17 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.560 around the debot property where the park to the ice rink is and was 18 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:19.879 able to supply us with numbers and so that was It's great because it was 19 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.640 always hard to tell us, like, you know, we didn't know for 20 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.280 sure, like opening night we had over fourteen hundred people attend. Now you 21 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.239 got to realize that was in a three hour period from six to nine pm. 22 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.719 But in the past we'd kind of look out there and go, I 23 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.280 don't know. One of us would throw out a number, another would throw 24 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.760 out a number. It's hard to gauge crowds, you know, because some 25 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.719 come, then some leave. So it's really nice that visit Bartlesville is able 26 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.120 to provide us with accurate numbers that are truly tracked. And so, like 27 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.200 I said, opening night, there were fourteen hundred people just on that night, 28 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.760 that Friday night on December first, our paid skaters were up fifteen and 29 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:59.480 a half percent over twenty twenty three. Nice with the private parties which were 30 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.400 all up. We had some huge private parties. We had over seven thousand, 31 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.439 probably close to seventy five hundred people on the ice, people skating. 32 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:13.000 And the thing about the skaters. Is a lot of times they come not 33 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.039 everybody in their party skates, someone the parent is watching, you know, 34 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.919 yeah, exactly, like can go to the ice I don't want to break 35 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.960 a bone. But so there's a you know, a lot more than the 36 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.120 seven thousand that were around that area, obviously from Maria's numbers. But you 37 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.120 know, some people come down. They don't even ice skate, They just 38 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:30.919 want to go for carriage ride. They just want to you know, look 39 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.960 at the lights and take pictures at all the different you know, photo op 40 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.520 stops and that kind of thing. There are photo ops there are I love 41 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.400 it. You see it all over people's Facebook during the holidays, which is 42 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:46.520 really a lot of fun. This was exciting. We had well, our 43 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.120 numbers at that twenty one thousand number, you know people downtown. That was 44 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.360 a twenty three percent increase over last year. So it grew twenty three percent 45 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.240 over last year. And then one of the reasons we do this is we 46 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.560 want to draw people to Bartlesville as well as keep our own folks here and 47 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:09.280 just have another entertainment piece to our community, albeit just a month. But 48 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.000 we did it kind of as a gift to the community. But we want 49 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.319 to draw people to our community, keep our folks here, and so we 50 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.840 really have ramped up our regional advertising and are drawing folks here. And according 51 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.680 to Maria's tracking, eighty two hundred people were here who live outside of a 52 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.280 ten mile radius of Bartlesville, so they visited, and that's up forty four 53 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.360 and a half percent over last year's numbers outside that radius, that ten mile 54 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.439 radius. So we really were able to attract more people here. The point 55 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.639 being, when they're here, they've skated, they've enjoyed, they've seen Bartlesville. 56 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.960 They exactly right, they go, they go eat, And so I 57 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:52.120 know that our restaurants, our retail establishments are probably going to stop coming from 58 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.159 a lot of them Southeast Kansas Aria. While they're here, they're going to 59 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.800 make use of their time. Then they're going to go shop. You know, 60 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.960 it's Christmas. We've got a shop. So you know, our retail 61 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.159 hopefully are the beneficiary of that as well as the area of restaurants, especially 62 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:11.000 the ones downtown. And so anyhow that it was a great season. We 63 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.199 did not lose. We lost one day. I always want rain, always 64 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.879 want rain. But when it rained, it was Christmas Eve and we closed 65 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.759 it five anyway on Christmas Eve, so we did lose that day and then 66 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.399 we lost Christmas Day, but we were closed anyway on Christmas Day, so 67 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.040 the rain was perfect timing for us. Yeah, so I love the rain, 68 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.759 but it didn't want to have it. You know, you can't skate 69 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.000 when it's raining. And other than that, because of surf Pro and I 70 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.000 want to give a shout out to TJ. Dickinson and his crew because of 71 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.000 surf Pro, they left us there an extra set of equipment they had this 72 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:46.920 year, knowing that if they needed it for anything, you know, they 73 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.319 could come get it, but they just left it for us, and we 74 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.439 were able to salvage several days because if we did have some warm days, 75 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.920 not like the year before, we're you know, it's hitting almost eighty, 76 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.560 but I'm telling you, you start hitting sixty with that sunbea been down if 77 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.000 it's full sun. Yeah, we struggle keeping that ice frozen. So but 78 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.399 with that equipment we can stay on top of it, and we were not. 79 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.360 We didn't have to close any days except for like I said, because 80 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.319 of rain, So we were excited about that. We didn't have to close. 81 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.279 A family skate from four to six because it was just it's right when 82 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.199 that sun was finished beaming down. But other than that, that's all we 83 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.279 lost. So it was a really good season. We now the rink is 84 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.639 finally gone. He came Monday and finally got it. It was finally had 85 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:32.160 melted. And the city came yesterday and got the sand that they let us 86 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:36.040 use, which is great. That goes back to their supply for sanding the 87 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.639 streets and things, and they do such a great job. They even bringing 88 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.759 our a little street cleaner out so our parking lot. Yeah, stay, 89 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.360 I doesn't have much of sand in its still. And then you know, 90 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.199 it's like Domino's. Next we'll be a crew. Give a shout out to 91 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.480 Diversified Kevin Moore. Some of his friends come and they tear down the village, 92 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.519 just assemble it. And then we got to get it to storage, 93 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.920 which thank you to Armstrong Bank for let us and use us store each area 94 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.040 that they have and then you can move the shit or the skate hut, 95 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:09.120 and thanks to Paul's record, that gets moved and we hopefully get some football 96 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.279 players to help us move all the stuff into the head. So it's like 97 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.560 Dominoes. Nothing can happen until that rink was gone. And so anyhow, 98 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.839 like I said, great season, and it's really there's a lot that goes 99 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.920 into it. It would not happen without our sponsors. And I just want 100 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:28.000 to say a huge thanks shout out to all of our sponsors. We cannot 101 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.959 do this without them. People do not under they don't realize. I think 102 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:31.920 people think, oh, they just put an ice rink in, no big 103 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.079 deal. You know, it's not that hard or it's not the detail that 104 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.879 goes into it. Every piece of the puzzle is important, and that rink 105 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.839 is expensive. That chiller if you ever go behind that village and see it's 106 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.959 like on the size of a semi trailer. It's huge. There's just a 107 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.879 lot, and it is expensive. And that's why. And it's a risk 108 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.120 because you never know what weather's going to do. So our sponsors make it 109 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.519 truly happen. And so we appreciate each one of them. I cannot I'm 110 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.279 not going to go through and name them all, but just some companies that 111 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.920 really stepped up and help support the festival. So we appreciate that. Great. 112 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.720 You know, we've got some things to look forward to you. We're 113 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.319 going to take a quick break and we'll be right back after these words. 114 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.800 Tim Howell, Arnold Moore and Ni Camp Funeral Home.

Most everyone has 136 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.480 heard the scripture John three point sixteen, for God so loved the world that 137 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.080 he gave his only begotten son, whosoever should believe in him should not perish, 138 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.399 but have everlasting lie. I believe that that scripture is really of no 139 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.200 avail if not followed up by the very next scripture on three seventeen, for 140 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.600 God to not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but 141 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.879 that the world through him might be saved.

So we're starting off. Actually today Operation 159 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.639 Thank You is happening.

They are the ones that attend our ribbon cuttings 161 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.960 and that kind of thing. Our Community Guide and it looks so good. 162 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.080 Our twenty twenty four community Guide that really just gives all sorts of information about 163 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.279 the community. It's one hundred and twenty pages. I think. In the 164 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.159 back is a buyer's guide that lists all of our members by kind of their 165 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.039 business category. Anyhow, that is in and done and has been delivered, 166 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.240 and our volunteers, our advocates are going out today and there's about twenty five 167 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.799 different routes. Kim at the office on how she does this, but she 168 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.399 takes all of our members and puts him in a logical order address wise, 169 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.679 and we have twenty five different routes and they will all take a route or 170 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:09.639 two and deliver those community guides hopefully today. We don't deliver to home addresses, 171 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.200 but other than that, and we will send an email out to those 172 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.720 folks to swing by when convenient, but anyhow, those are being delivered. 173 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.879 Super excited. If anybody needs a good recruitment piece, if you are new 174 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.440 to the community, this is a wonderful piece. Please stop by the chamber. 175 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.320 This is what they're for if you need them as realtor's apartment complexes, 176 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.200 people moving in, you know, come and get get a box of them, 177 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.039 or you know, a handful of them, whatever you think you might 178 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.519 go through. But a lot of our you know, major employers use them 179 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.279 when they recruit and it's just a it's a great piece, really sells our 180 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.159 community. It's beautiful, full color all the way through. Know that new 181 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.639 Electric company covered to down and they could probably use a couple of thousands. 182 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.200 Man, there's a lot of good news in the employment field, so a 183 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.120 lot of expansion and and grown expansion with the existing industry as well as industry 184 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.240 moving in. So it's exciting. Boom have their groundbreaking Monday or yeah, 185 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.840 groundbreaking, so we jumped right in. Tomorrow is business after hours. We 186 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.960 skip December, but business after Hours is at the new Osage Casino. If 187 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:15.919 you've not had a chance to see it yet, it's out there on Highway 188 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:20.000 sixty, just a few minutes outside of town and encourage you to attend that 189 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.080 it's free for our members or if you want to come as a guest and 190 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.240 just kind of check it out. But it's a great way for our members 191 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.720 to connect meet other folks and just you know, make those connections, kind 192 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.799 of spread the word about what they do. I know we're time short, 193 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.480 but we got a lot of things. Next is February fourteenth, is our 194 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:41.440 next Women in Business and it's changing the perceptions of building workplace culture. It 195 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.440 is always good to hear presentations on workplace culture. It makes or breaks a 196 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:52.000 business or at least your retention the satisfaction of your employees. And everybody plays 197 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.519 a part in it. Just because you're not the boss or the manager. 198 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.000 Everybody plays a part in work place culture. And I know they're the ones 199 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.320 that set the tone, but it is for everyone. And so I'm real 200 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.200 excited about that. And her name is kit Letcher, and I won't give 201 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.279 you all the details on our bio, but anyhow, it should be really 202 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.360 good. And that is Valentine's Day, February fourteenth, so we may have 203 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.480 a little extra things happening at that one, but it's at Hillcrest, and 204 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.960 encourage you to just go to Bartlesfield dot com and register if you're interested in 205 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.799 that event, and men are welcome. We actually had two at the last 206 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.120 one, so now I'm more all excited about this February fifteenth, the next 207 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.240 day. We love doing back to back events, but our next day. 208 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.600 We do six major forms each year in our Forum series, and this will 209 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.159 be our fourth one for the year. And it's going to feature Pat McFerrin, 210 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.200 which I know does not probably the name does not ring a lot of 211 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.879 bills for people, But what he is. He's the president with Cole snod 212 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.200 Grace Hardgrave, which is a polling firm. They pull on all sorts of 213 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.279 issues. I get the results of their surveys they're polling that they do, 214 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:05.000 and actually the city has used them before for elections. Candidates have used them 215 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.320 and not just here locally, not just statewide, but nationally. And I 216 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.120 am telling you he is spot on and how he predicts. But what's interesting, 217 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.080 he's going to go over how Oklahoma covers several topics, and especially being 218 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.639 an election year, that kind of thing. He will go into maybe education, 219 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.159 McGirt, tax cuts, you know, how does Oklahoma feel, how 220 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.039 to Oklahomans feel, and he breaks it down. It's always interesting your male, 221 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.360 female, rural urban you know, this is across the state, you 222 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.039 know, Republican Democrat. Just not that that's political, but it's just interesting 223 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.559 to see how it pulls out. So to me, I can't express how 224 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.879 excited I am for this one. I think it's going to be a different, 225 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.960 very very interesting form. And there will be a few minutes also for 226 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.440 Q and A at the end. So that is going to be the day 227 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.159 after Valentine's Day, February fifteenth at Tri County Tech. They are our sponsor 228 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.559 for this as well as ABB and Ascension Jane Phillips, which I'm excited about 229 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.080 the name it Ascension Jane Phillips. So register online for that one if you're 230 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.279 interested. Yeah. I'm fascinated by people who can collect that kind of data, 231 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.840 break it down and make it so easy to understand. Oh and it 232 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.879 is. It's amazing. I love it. Oh yeah, he's got a 233 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.919 great team and he'll explain how polling works, how they do it, that 234 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.440 kind of thing. But anyhow, I think it'll be very very interesting. 235 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.720 So are we good or okay? Well, we're okay. We've got February 236 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:35.080 twenty third is our next eggs and issues politics over breakfast. These breakfasts always 237 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.480 have some sort of political interest. And as a February twenty third, the 238 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.120 state Legislature's legislature will have been in for a couple of weeks, so this 239 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.759 is a preview of the legislative session. They'll kind of have a good feel 240 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.240 for what's coming. They're what they're working on. And when I say they, 241 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.679 it's our local delegation. We have the best I think in the state. 242 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.480 We have. Senator Julie Daniels will be there, Representative Judd Strom, 243 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.600 and Representative John b. K and they'll just give a preview of kind of 244 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:04.360 what's coming down the pike, what they're working on, what they see, 245 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.480 you know, the issues are, what the challenges will be for them, 246 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.799 and it's always interesting. So that is like I said, at Tri County 247 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.799 Tech. And it has a full hot breakfast and so it's a great way 248 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.159 to start your morning.
