WEBVTT

1
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.919
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome

2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.560
in here to say that time now
for our community connection right here on K

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:20.839
one, the one you trust.
We have the kawanas in today and Conrad

4
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.359
and Karen, you look festive,
looks like maybe we've got something coming up

5
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:31.399
here. Absolutely things that go boom. Comrade, yes, we've got Freedom

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.359
Fest and she let me guess,
I'm gonna see help me hear Conrad,

7
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:41.000
July fourth, Yeah, always tay, yeah. I started to say,

8
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.159
so, let's let's just get it
out of the way, clear it up.

9
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.159
We know that July fourth is on
Tuesday this year changes every year.

10
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:59.159
And guess what the billboard that is
in a strategic location that most of Bartlesville

11
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:06.079
has seen, says Monday. Oh
but we got we got comments, so

12
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.280
we know people are We know people
are looking at the real checking to see

13
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:19.640
if you exactly exactly and if you
check it out later this week, you'll

14
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.400
notice that it says the correct day, Tuesday, July fourth. It's funny

15
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.519
though, even without the billboard,
every year we get questions about when is

16
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:40.280
the fourth of July Freedom Fest?
I'm guessing yeah, And you know what,

17
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.959
it's great that in the community.
There's fireworks like for days. That's

18
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.840
awesome, but the best day is
the fourth of July. Wow, Conrad.

19
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.840
We go out to the Suonier Park
and we used to do it downtown,

20
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.480
but we did it at Suoner Park
before downtown. Now we're back Suoner

21
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.079
Park. We've been there for a
few years now, that's correct. This

22
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.920
is a big, vast expe green
spaces, nice shade trees, some rolling

23
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.519
little hills. Great to take a
little walk and have a little fun.

24
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.439
And what can we expect during our
Freedom Pass this year? I know we've

25
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.919
got some activities. So most of
the activities takes place by the band show

26
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.280
and NAT always start at roughly six
pm. Obviously we have opening ceremonies and

27
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.479
things of that nature. We will
start the registration for the kids Patriotic Parade

28
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:35.400
that's sponsored by DSR starting at six
fifteen. At six forty five, we

29
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.599
will do the kids Patriotic custom contests
and parade, and then the live band

30
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.520
will start at seven pm and that's
Anna Jennings and Palomino Playboys. That's an

31
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:51.039
Americana country with a little hint of
rock. And then of course the finale

32
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.960
nine thirty. You know, fireworks
at nine thirty and all from roughly five

33
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.439
thirty to nine thirty we have food
vendors. Oh my gosh, to have

34
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.719
food festivals cleared the decks right and
and oh by the way, at six

35
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:15.120
o'clock also, um, the inflatables
open and those are always hugely popular and

36
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.280
sponsored by Truity Credit unions. So
we really appreciate Truty has done that for

37
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.919
years and years, you know,
since we were downtown, and we really

38
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:30.240
appreciate them, and and DSR and
the kids parade is becoming quite a tradition

39
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.960
too, so um, we look
forward to that being bigger and better this

40
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.919
year. So we've definitely invite invite
the kids and invite your parents to help

41
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.759
you get all um, get all
patriotic and your ware, and we we

42
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:55.120
do welcome bikes and wagons um,
so um, it'll be lots of fun,

43
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.759
it will be. And also you
know soon as you will be open

44
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.800
for a miniature golf, so oh
yeah, always go across the park to

45
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.000
that part and enjoy a little bit
of miniature golf and then come back over

46
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.960
have some food and entertainment. Again. You know, we want to thank

47
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.800
DSR and Truerty as being the top
sponsor for Freedom Fests this year. But

48
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.079
we want to also thank Patriot,
Otto, Chronical, Phillips, Phillip sixty

49
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:26.040
six, First Investment Corps, Sutter
Fields are also UM good sponsors for Freedom

50
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.600
Fest and I think we also had
Green Country Village, spark Light, Our,

51
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.720
vest r h A D Manufacturing and
Stride Bank. But we're always looking

52
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.439
for more sponsors. So you want
to do a little good will folks,

53
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.879
Yeah, it's yeah, it's definitely
not too late to become a sponsor and

54
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.560
UM and get a big thanks from
not only Kawanas but the community. Um.

55
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:57.279
You know, lots of folks still
don't realize that the Bartlesville fireworks display

56
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.519
is led by the Kauanist Club of
Bartlesville. It's not a it's not a

57
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:13.040
city thing. It is a community
thing thanks to lots of businesses in town

58
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.800
and UM, you know, for
for the Kauanist part. A lot of

59
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:25.279
our proceeds from Sooner Junior go to
UM to bring the fireworks every year.

60
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.920
Oh my, and they're so spectacular. Last year we just had a b

61
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.800
Oh can't I say that? But
you know we're always up there clacking it

62
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.360
close to the pool because that's where
we do our broadcast BROM but I mean,

63
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.279
wow, those were spectacular. Yeah, you guys always do a great

64
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.000
job presenting the event, and then
you do a live show when the fireworks

65
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.879
synchronize with music, so that's always
a good hit. And and we hear

66
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.120
people in the community sometimes don't come
to the festival, but they stay home

67
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.879
and watch the fireworks from a distance. So you know, then the guy

68
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.120
on the radio, we're always on
KYFM, our sister station one hundred point

69
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.519
one, and you can hear the
patriotic music. In fact, if you

70
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.920
if you find yourself kind of parked
way back in the park and you can't

71
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.879
hear it over the loudspeaker, just
turn on your car radio. And that's

72
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.800
what I really kind of wish more
and more folks would do, is just

73
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.480
to crank it up on your car
your truck and listen there and it kind

74
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.319
of synchronizes a little bit better,
right right. I tell you, I

75
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.800
don't think there's a bad fireworks display
myself. I know, man, I

76
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.600
know, Fourth of July is one
of my favorite holidays, and I love

77
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.000
fireworks of any kind, you know. I know there are a lot of

78
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.399
folks who you know, feel like
some are better than others. But to

79
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.319
me, any fireworks display is great, and it'll be great again this year.

80
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.959
All right, we're gonna take a
quick breaking We're gonna be right back

81
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.199
with our friends from Kawanas after these
words were Martin Moreton Niecampion Home. How

82
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.240
does ten at Arnold Moore and he
Camp Funeral Home? No, he's done

83
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.079
a good job. After a funeral, I'll come in and say, guys,

84
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.079
great job. We really hit that
out of the part today. The

85
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.399
family was well pleased. And that's
the phrase right there, when a family

86
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.240
member tells me, you made this
experience so much easier than I thought it

87
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.040
was going to be. Thank you. That is the high five moment right

88
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.879
there. And then six months later
you run into them in a store or

89
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.439
a restaurant and they come up to
you and shake your hand, put their

90
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.120
arm around you, hug and say, this is our funeral director. He

91
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.720
helped us so much when dad died. He is a nice guy. His

92
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:40.000
staff is so compassionate and so caring. They did a great job. That

93
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.319
is the ultimate experience. They've had
time to grieve a little bit and reflect

94
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.519
on what you've done, and they
come in and they're still on cloud nine

95
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.920
because you helped them pay tribute to
someone they really cared about. It'll be

96
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.759
all right. We'll walk through this
together, Arnold Moore and the Camp Funeral

97
00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:01.560
Home, seven Dewey Bartels of it. We'll walk through this us together and

98
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.519
welcome back. And we are speaking
with our friends from Quantas. We have

99
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.480
Conrad Karen here with us in studio
and they're just right for freedom. Fast

100
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.480
work in the red and white blue
here, you know, and really looking

101
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.439
good. Conrad. I don't know
if we can do the wave or anything

102
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.839
like that, so it looks like
a fluttering flag, but you know,

103
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.360
maybe maybe another time. Okay,
thank you, we're not doing Yeah,

104
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.480
come out, come out to Sooner
Park on the fourth of July. There'll

105
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.279
be plenty of flags. Oh golly, yeah, there will and all kinds

106
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.759
of fun. Like we mentioned the
parade there, we've got entertainment at the

107
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.840
band shell. And what time were
the food trucks and not I'm asking for

108
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.480
a friend. When to the open
up? Roughly five to five thirty,

109
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.559
got you, but the festival opens
at six. Got you? Hey.

110
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.799
By the way, if any food
trucks within hearing distance are not busy on

111
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.759
the fourth of July. Get in
touch with us because we never have enough.

112
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.759
I mean, the lines are so
long, and you know, there's

113
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.519
really nothing we can do about that
except for try to try to get more

114
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.559
food trucks out there. So get
in touch with us. Either go to

115
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:16.159
the website Barslookwanas dot org or give
us a buzz at nine eight nine seven

116
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.240
seven thirty four hundred. And it's
not too late. We can always use

117
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.960
more food trucks, all right,
god Red, we got a lot of

118
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.840
things going on. We've mentioned a
lot of our sponsors. We do have

119
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.759
room for more, right, we
have room for more, yep. Contact

120
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.759
us on our Facebook or our website
and we'd be happy to bring them on

121
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.360
board. Absolutely. I'll also shout
out to the Boy Scout Troop six.

122
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.759
They're great volunteers of us and help
us with the event every single year.

123
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.320
And you know, you have to
thank the city for allowing us to put

124
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.600
it on. The police reserves make
sure the traffic flow is fine when we

125
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.639
exit the thing, and that's not
an easy job and I really hats off

126
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.720
to those folks. To Park and
Wreck Department obviously provides us with trash cans

127
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.879
and things of that nature. And
of course the fire department has to authorize

128
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.360
the firework, so hopefully we won't
have any fires and have a good show.

129
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.320
That'll be great. You know.
I will say folks that the folks

130
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.600
who do the traffic in and out, they do a great job. And

131
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.279
it's one of those things where you
know you're going to see a lot of

132
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.879
folks. And one thing that really
surprises me is everybody's pretty darn calm on

133
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.720
the way out. They really are
everything pretty darn patient. And it is

134
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.559
a lot of fun. It is
just a lot of fun to come out

135
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.279
and enjoy the fireworks under the stars, grab some food you might not normally

136
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.919
have in your refrigerator, and enjoy
some music you're not going to hear from

137
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.399
anywhere else. Now, this young
lady in her band, did they play

138
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.240
last year or sometimes? Yes,
they did. Wow, they were amazing.

139
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.759
I'm glad you got him back.
Yeah. Yeah, they crowd favorite.

140
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:01.840
I think I think that's any plus
Yeah, anything else you oh gosh,

141
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.399
you know, like I said,
the fireworks are the best and and

142
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.559
um and we mentioned you know a
lot of people don't even come, you

143
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:16.480
know, into the park, particularly
they they early go grab their good parking

144
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.799
spot and kind of, you know, camp out there with their lawn chairs

145
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.080
and picnic baskets. And that's okay
too. Um. You know, in

146
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.600
addition to the folks that live in
the neighborhood and they're able to even see

147
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.399
it from their backyard, so that
just that just brings in more and more

148
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.159
people. But coming to the park
is fun. It is right and and

149
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.600
you know the reason we moved it
back to Sooner Park is because of the

150
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:50.879
shade. Yeah, I mean that
that concrete downtown got awful hot. So

151
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.559
it's just a lot more comfortable out
in the park. And if we're fortunate,

152
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.480
we'll have a good breeze. We
know it, we know it'll be

153
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.440
hot. Hey, it's the fourth
of jel You know, when we were

154
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.600
downtown and it looks spectacular, are
you really good? We loved it?

155
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.879
Oh yeah, but do you get
a little warm down there. I noticed

156
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.039
that Nathan Thompson lost fifteen pounds in
an hour just just walking around. He

157
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.320
was like, how you doing?
He was running the stage and everything.

158
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.679
I'm telling you, it was tough. It was tough. So Sooner Park

159
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.440
is just such a great environment,
and especially since the city added the new

160
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.039
playground. Oh yeah, for the
kids there, um you know, and

161
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.320
like we said, we'll pitch the
miniature golf again too, So while you're

162
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.559
waiting for the fireworks, feel free
to come up to sooner junior, and

163
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:46.360
and uh play around a miniature golf. Oh that is so relaxing and it's

164
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.559
a lot of fun, family fun. That's right, all right, Well,
